The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) conducts a statewide survey every two years of school vision and hearing programs. ODH uses data from this survey in four ways:
To determine compliance with screening requirements
To plan statewide vision and hearing screening trainings
To assist ODH in planning its Maternal and Child Health Block Grant objectives
All state chartered public and private schools are surveyed. ODH randomly selects school buildings in the Ohio Educational Directory every two years. The results are then entered into a database and analyzed.
