Kaiser Permanente
School-based health centers (SBHCs) are an important setting to improve health through detecting, managing and preventing chronic illness. Too few people are educated about the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can prevent tens of thousands of deaths from cancer each year. PEER will evaluate a program to increase health and wellness and the use of SBHCs for primary and preventive care. If successful, PEER could significantly increase the use of SBHCs, and decrease HPV-associated cancers and, thus, reduce the burden of cancer in the United States.
