BACKGROUND Stigmatizing attitudes toward mental illness and low mental health literacy have been found to be barriers to seeking help for mental health related issues in adolescents. Prior research has found that it is possible to improve these outcomes using school-based mental health interventions. The purpose of this study was to review empirical literature pertaining to universal interventions addressing mental health among students enrolled in US K-12 schools, especially related to health disparities in vulnerable populations. METHODS PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, PUBMED, and reference lists of relevant articles were searched for K-12 school-based mental health awareness interventions in the US. Universal studies that measured knowledge, attitudes, and/or help-seeking pertinent to mental health were included. RESULTS A total of 15 studies were selected to be part of the review. There were 7 pretest/posttest case series, 5 non-randomized experimental trial, 1 Solomon 4-groups, and 2 randomized controlled trial designs (RCT). Nine studies measuring knowledge, 8 studies measuring attitudes, and 4 studies measuring help-seeking, indicated statistically significant improvement. CONCLUSIONS Although results of all studies indicated some level of improvement, more research on implementation of universal school-based mental health awareness programs is needed using RCT study designs, and long-term follow up implementation.

“…Policy guidelines and model programs for rural school and community-based service delivery and prevention efforts have been only minimally successful (Farie, Cowen, & Smith, 1986; Petti & Leviton, 1986). The most successful rural models appear to be community-based integrative prevention services and wrap-around services that incorporate the larger rural community (Monsey, Owen, Ziernan, Lambert, & Hyman, 1995), suggesting that recruitment, engagement, and education of rural communities may result in better identification, prevention, and treatment of suicidal individuals (Mulder & Chang, 1997).…”

“…Many of the most sophisticated models of school-based health service delivery have occurred in urban areas. These include alcohol and drug prevention (Zavela et al, 1997), sex education and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (Hacker, 1989), and the prevention and treatment of mental disorders (Farie, Cowen, & Smith, 1986;King & Kirschenbaum, 1990). Less attention has been paid to school-based health services as part of a national strategy for minimizing barriers to receiving health services in rural areas of the United States.…”

Rural areas are often characterized by population scarcity, but this does not necessarily imply a scarcity of social service systems. In fact, social service systems may be of greater importance in rural areas because they serve as a congregation point for individuals and families. The social service systems of education, health, and religion serve the needs of rural residents but often work independently of one another. Nonetheless, established social service systems in rural communities are potential partners for the ambitious, committed rural behavioral health provider.The collaboration between a behavioral health provider and a social service system requires a framework for the partnership. Franklin and Streeter (1995) developed a taxonomy in which they distinguished levels of school-based health and social service collaboration as follows: informal, coordinated, partnerships, collaborative, and integrated. Although developed for school-based collaborative health services, the definitions are useful guides for all social service systems. We have adapted these definitions for the purposes of this chapter but have retained the labels for illustration. In Table 8.1, we define each of the degrees of social service system collaboration.The purpose of this chapter is to review four systems spanning education, health, and religious systems that could accommodate the provision of behavioral services and to examine the assets and barriers to such collaboration. In the final section of the chapter, we provide recommendations for collaborations.The four delivery systems presented here have been explored as conduits for rural behavioral health to some degree, but no universally accepted model has yet been derived. Thus, they are presented as possibilities that possess inherent strengths and weaknesses.
