Objective:

To examine the association of the actions in components I (clinical and psychosocial evaluation) and II (health promotion and disease and health risks prevention) of the "Health at School Program" with its territorial location, category, and professional qualification.

Materials and methods:

Transversal and normative study with a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out between May and July 2017 using an instrument built from the program's standards. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Fisher's exact test) with the aid of statistical and social analysis software.

Results:

84.8% of the participants were female with a mean time of 7.2 years enrolled in the Health at School Program. The most frequent actions were oral health assessment (50.5 %), anthropometric assessment (39 %), and vaccination status assessment (35.2 %). There was an association between the actions developed by the program and the territorial location (p = < 0.05), the professional category (p = < 0.040), and the professional qualification (p = 0.001).

Conclusions:

Actions most frequently developed as part of the Health at School Program are related to the clinical evaluation component. They are executed based on territorial needs, influenced by health professionals, and guided by program management. It is appropriate to consider these findings in order to readjust the offer of activities by the program.
