Outline for Bibliographies on InterventionsThis is a featured page

The following outline is used to list research, reports and resources to describe interventions such as policies/ advocacy, professional or organizational practices, programs, services and other informal activities.

Framework for Listing Research, Reports and Resources on School-based and School-Linked Interventions

In this outline, we identify relevant research, reports and resources within an understanding of the issue that we describe as an ecological and systems-based approach to school-based and school-linked health, safety, social and sustainable development. This outline suggests that we need a holistic understanding of the nature, prevalence, aspects and factors affecting the issue, the influence of the school's physical and social environment as well as its core practices, the effectiveness of comprehensive approaches, coordinated agency-school programs and whole school strategies as well as individual interventions, how these interventions can be implemented and sustained while ongoing capacities are built at all levels within education, health and other systems in a manner that respects the complex, open, loosely-coupled and bureaucratic systems that support schools. This outline also lists links that apply these interventions in a variety of local community and country contexts with a deep understanding of the core mandates and constraints of schools and educators. The outline concludes with items relating to future research questions, and methods.

Interventions are defined as including policies (including professional practice guidelines and organizational practices), educational programs, health, social, student & other services, social support activities such as parent involvement, youth engagement, working with media and community and changes to the physical environment or other practical resources such as transportation to and from school. The research cited here includes research reviews, important case studies and textbooks. The reports includes discussion/position papers and status reports. The resources include examples of programs/guidelines/mandates, planning guides/manuals, educational programs/curricula/educational methods guides, health or other agency service/clinical guidelines/mandates to work with schools, policy tools/guidelines/examples, assessment/evaluation tools, training tools and other resources such as key web sites or organizations
