BACKGROUND: Screening for @entity1615 ( @entity1615 ) is a commonly performed procedure for school @entity1 during the high risk years. The PRECEDE-PROCEDE (PP) model is a health promotion planning model that has not been utilized for the clinical diagnosis of @entity1615 . The purpose of this research is to study @entity1615 in the school age population using the PP model and its relevance for community, school, and clinical health promotion. METHODS: MEDLINE was utilized to locate @entity1615 data. Studies were screened for relevance and applicability under the auspices of the PP model. Where data was unavailable, expert opinion was utilized based on consensus. RESULTS: The social assessment of quality of life is limited with few studies approaching the long-term effects of @entity1615 . Epidemiologically, @entity1615 is the most common form of @entity1635 and leading orthopedic problem in @entity1 . Behavioral/environmental studies focus on discovering etiologic relationships yet this data is confounded because @entity1615 is not a behavioral. Illness and parenting health behaviors can be appreciated. The educational diagnosis is confounded because @entity1615 is an @entity74 and not behavioral. The administration/policy diagnosis is hindered in that @entity1635 screening programs are not considered cost-effective. Policies are determined in some schools because 26 states mandate school @entity1635 screening. There exists potential error with the Adam's test. The most widely used measure in the PP model, the Health Belief Model, has not been utilized in any @entity1615 research. CONCLUSION: The PP model is a useful tool for a comprehensive study of a particular health concern. This research showed where gaps in @entity1615 research exist suggesting that there may be problems to the implementation of school screening. Until research disparities are filled, implementation of @entity1615 screening by school, community, and clinical health promotion will be compromised. Lack of data and perceived importance by school/community health planners may influence clinical health promotion practices.
