Description
When schools close in a health crisis, the gym classes, meals, and health lessons they host stop at once. Julia Dabravolskaj and co-authors asked Canadian experts how schools kept health work going during COVID-19 closures, in a 2023 study. They gathered practices used in 87 Alberta schools in the spring of 2020.
The practices fell into four groups, from online events to food and gear sent home. Two expert panels rated each one over three survey rounds. Panels agreed that all of them need staff time, training, and outside partners. Online events and health messages scored as quick, cheap, and well liked. Food, gear, and family contact reached the most at-risk students, so plans should keep all four groups.
