OHA Reports Deficiencies in Student Health
A new report from the Oregon Health Authority reveals that more than one in five Oregon eighth- and 11th-graders had unmet mental or physical health needs in 2022. Students cited barriers such as lack of insurance, long wait times, and stigma around seeking help. Researchers say emotional isolation and feeling unheard are major themes. Deputy State Health Officer Dr. Tom Jeanne says the findings show many students are struggling and don’t feel seen — and that mental and physical health are deeply connected. The report urges stronger school-based and community support to help Oregon youth access care and thrive.
