This article in the Lancet Child & Adolescent Health is both an advocacy tool and a roadmap for building bridges between education and health and enabling the development of intersectoral practices in schools. The article takes stock of the available evidence on school health interventions and the conditions necessary for their effectiveness and sustainability. It shows that health professionals can be catalysts for structural change and act as vehicles for cross-sectoral implementation of reforms and innovations in school systems to promote the health of all students.\n\n
