Screenings

Screenings are a secondary level of prevention in schools to detect conditions early. These screenings are used to identify students who need further evaluation. Utah state law requires vision, hearing, spinal curvature, and dental screenings. Parents should be notified of all screenings. Follow-up with screening results is very important and is the role of the school nurse.
