The 2005 Fall Issues Meeting of the National Coordinating Committee on School Health and Safety (NCCSHS) was titled, "The Research-Policy-Practice Conundrum: Making the Process Work to Improve Student Outcomes." Participants represented seven Federal agencies and 26 non-Federal organizations and universities whose goals are to produce and maintain quality programs for improvements in health and education. The meeting featured speakers and expert responses, opportunities for networking, large group discussions, and opportunities for dialogue among committee members. Speakers also addressed specific questions from the participants following their presentations.
To address the mutual concerns of NCCSHS members related to improving education and health outcomes for students, issues and strategies for translating research to policy and practice were discussed. The group also examined implications and possible next steps for NCCSHS in outlining such strategies.
Following the large group discussion, the committee held a brief business meeting.
