description This study sought to determine support for comprehensive school health programming among members of the Arkansas Legislature. A 42-item questionnaire was used to elicit demographic information, as well as information relative to the subjects' attitudes, beliefs, and values concerning health and legislation relevant to school-age children. Each member of the legislature (n=135) was mailed a letter that explained the study, requested to participate, and advised that the questionnaire would be forthcoming. Multivariate analysis of variance indicated that there were significant differences in the level of support for comprehensive school health education by party affiliation, with Democrats reporting greater support. There was no difference in support by level of church attendance or religiosity. For the two additional items concerning teacher qualifications, results indicated that support for these items was not independent of party, with Democrats more likely to disagree. These results should be of value in working with legislators to initiate or strengthen legislation to promote the health of school children.
