A qualitative survey on the collaborative experiences of colleges and universities, state‐level organizations, and school districts related to comprehensive school health programs in 12 states found four primary collaborative outcomes: training, consultation, research, and networking. Five common dimensions of collaboration also were identified: interpersonal and organizational interactions, level of awareness and understanding of comprehensive school health programs, organizational priorities and reward systems, political forces, and availability and sharing of resources. The potential for such linkages to advance comprehensive school health programs remains largely untapped. Recommendations for developing such collaborations are presented.
