This statement is an independent report of the panel and is not a policy statement of the NIH or the Federal Government. The statement reflects the panel's assessment of medical knowledge available at the time the statement was written. Thus, it provides a "snapshot in time" of the state of knowledge on the conference topic. When reading the statement, keep in mind that new knowledge is inevitably accumulating through medical research.

Core definitions and evolutionary highlights of these disciplines are presented, as well as their intersection and promise of impact on student academic and health outcomes. . The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model is used as an example of a framework embraced by education and health experts to help students become health literate.

Selected contemporary threats to the social and emotional health and safety of youth are reviewed; as are successful, evidencebased, collaborative HE, HC, and HL programs and strategies. Finally, recommendations for future research and strategic actions in combining HE and HC for HL are discussed to empower, build resilience, and improve the lifelong health of children and adolescents as they become adults. 400 threats that affect K-12 students. The chapter provides selected evidence-based resources and a description of four programs with positive outcomes. Based on their review of the literature, the authors recommend research opportunities and identify gaps. The chapter's authors provide a framework for establishing effective collaborations. The chapter's authors suggest immediate, intermediate, and long-term goals and discuss strategies for social justice moving forward. After indicating uses for the chapter, the chapter's authors conclude with a call-to-action for collaboration across HE, HL, and HC.

Even with the many advances in technology, basic, effective, interpersonal communication remains essential to the provision of safe patient care. Ineffective communication is a major factor in adverse events -it leads as a contributing cause in sentinel events reported to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Ineffective communication is also implicated as the leading cause in medication errors, delays in treatment, perinatal deaths and injuries, and wrong site surgery, and is the second leading cause for patient falls (JCAHO, 2006a).
