Health profile

A type of health related data collection tool, intended for use in the entire population (including the healthy, the very sick, and patients with any sort of health problem) that attempts to measure all important aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQL).

Health profiles can be created for any community, including schools, cities, counties, state, or a country.

School health profile

The School Health Profiles (Profiles) is a system of surveys assessing school health policies and practices in states, large urban school districts, and territories.

Profiles surveys are conducted biennially by education and health agencies among middle and high school principals and lead health education teachers. Profiles monitors the current status of:

• School health education requirements and content,
• Physical education and physical activity,
• Practices related to bullying and sexual harassment,
• School health policies related to tobacco-use prevention and nutrition,
• School-based health services,
• Family engagement and community involvement, and
• School health coordination.
