23. Summary and Discussion  The 2011 Santa Cruz County School Health Profile utilized the CDC 2010 survey  The SCC report is a (very) abbreviated replica of the CDC 2010 report  The SCC report contains SCC / AZ / US data for the Principal survey only, and only presents Health Teacher survey results to questions to which all 10 schools responded.  Profile results may be used to guide school / community partners in identifying priorities  The survey itself can be used as an educational tool, as it addresses best practices in school health  If conducted again, schools may want some technical assistance with interpretation of questions, and collaboration with other teachers on finding accurate responses.  The definition of “Lead Health Education Teacher” may lead schools to think the survey is not appropriate for their school.  That some schools were K-8, with only 2 ‘adolescent’ grade levels may explain poorer results for some topic (sensitive) areas
