ABSTRACT: As a component of program planning for a school‐based clinic in a suburban high school, a sample of 199 students and 196 parents were surveyed about preferences for health services. Parents and students were asked about health services desired and level of interest. Student overall interest in health services was less than parent interest, although both groups indicated at least a moderate level of interest. Both students and parents reported interest in availability of comprehensive services, including general health services, reproductive health services, and counseling services. The process of polling parents and students serves dual purposes of informing the population about school‐based clinics, as well as gathering information to attempt to match the health services offered with needs identified.
