Addressing Health-Related Barriers to Learning in Oregon Schools

The Oregon Public Health Division, led by Isabelle Barbour, highlights critical health-related barriers that hinder student learning. Chronic health issues and inadequate resources like food can negatively impact academic performance. The initiative aims to mobilize partners and support systems to improve both student health and educational outcomes. Emphasizing the role of school staff, the program stresses the importance of healthy working conditions for educators who significantly influence students' success. Collaborations can lead to effective solutions for overcoming these barriers.
