Abstract
School and community factors appear to play a role in supporting or impeding the establishment of SBHCs. In addition to variables tapping communities' need for and resources available to support SBHCs, political conservatism appears to affect SBHC availability. SBHC advocates can use this information to understand where opportunities for growth might exist, identify collaborative partners, and prepare for challenges to supporting new SBHCs. Researchers may also use this information in evaluation studies to control for school-level confounders and develop appropriate comparison samples through matching procedures.
