SUMMARY
In Thailand, a health-promoting school (HPS) program is
in place nationwide. However, this policy has not covered
Burmese migrant schools. Therefore, to ensure the feasibility
of the implementation of a HPS program, we conducted
evaluations and an intervention on school health in
migrant schools in Thailand. We included 44 primary-level
schools in the Tak province in 2008. We were able to evaluate
the results of the intervention in 43 of 44 schools in the
subsequent year. For measurement, we used a comprehensive
school-health checklist with five components: ‘personal
health and life skills’, ‘healthy school environment’,
‘health and nutrition services’, ‘common disease control
and prevention’, ‘school and community partnership’. The
checklist contained 59 items; item scores ranged from 0 to
