State-Level Guidance on School-Based Screening for Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Risk: A Follow-Up Study
Auerbach, Emily R.; Chafouleas, Sandra M.; Briesch, Amy M.
School Mental Health, v11 n1 p141-147 Mar 2019
A recent study evaluated the level of guidance provided by states on their Department of Education web sites regarding school-based social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) screening. The purpose of this follow-up study was to interview a small sample of state-level stakeholders to supplement the findings from the web site evaluation study. Specifically, current goals were to (a) confirm findings from the web search and coding of state department of education materials and (b) add perspectives on the history, current, and future landscape of SEB policies and initiatives in K-12 education in that state. Results of the current study demonstrated that participants agreed with the initial study findings regarding the guidance provided by state departments of education to K-12 schools around SEB screening. Further, most participants indicated additional future directions regarding the landscape of SEB screening in their state since the period in which the primary document information was captured. Results of this exploratory study indicate that although the current and future of SEB screening varies across states, key stakeholders within state Departments of Education were aware of the importance, need, and relevance of SEB screening in K-12 schools.
