►OREGON STATE LAW requires a parent or guardian signature for mental health services for students under 14 years of age and medical treatment under 15 years of age, with exception of family planning information and sexually transmitted disease service. We support and encourage parental involvement in decisions about their student's health care.
►SBHC SATISFACTION SURVEY Students between the ages of 12 and 19 who visit the SBHC may be asked to complete an anonymous survey after their visit. The survey asks about the student’s satisfaction and experience at the SBHC, as well as some general questions about their physical and mental status. Students can refuse to take the survey and this will not affect their ability to get care at the SBHC. To see a copy of the survey, please go to the SBHC Data Requirements link. If you have questions about the survey, please contact the SBHC State Program Office at sbhc.program@dhsoha.state.or.us. http://healthoregon.org/sbhc.
