Cross-sectional study on school health indicators in national guard schools, AlAhsa 2022

The study was conducted during school visits by the Primary Health Care Center of King Abdulaziz Hospital to National Guard schools in AlAhsa, Saudi Arabia. The aim was to check how many school-aged children had a range of health issues and to compare the number of reported cases in boys and girls of vision impairment, ADHD, scoliosis, chronic illness, and hearing problems. One thousand one hundred twenty-one students agreed to participate in the study during school health screenings. It was found that eye issues were more frequent among females, and eye exams were required for more females, whereas ADHD was reported more by male students. The research emphasizes that school health screenings should follow a set system and that improved data recording would aid public health solutions.
