In the past two decades, an increasing number of school-based mental health programs and services have been developed and implemented. In this overview, quantitative reviews of prevention and intervention programs targeting adolescent obesity, drug use, smoking, alcohol consumption, and aggressive and violent behaviors such as bullying are presented. Research into the effectiveness of comprehensive school health programs provides evidence of the positive influence of these programs on student health behaviors. However, conditions that initiate and maintain effective school health promotion programs depend on several school-based organizational and program implementation factors. Therefore, implications for school health programs and personnel are given.
