The vast majority of students in Sweden are healthy and live good lives, but rising healthproblems and declining academic performance pose risks to the country’s student population.

Data were collected from 734 open-ended responseson a questionnaire distributed among students ranging in age from 6 to 16. The data weresubjected to qualitative content analysis.Findings: The analysis identified five categories: Important to identify health and healthproblems, School nurse, a key profession, School environment important for both health andlearning, Importance of health screening and Important to have a healthy lifestyle. The findingsrevealed that students aged 6 to 16 years old consider health and health problems, schoolenvironment, health screening and healthy lifestyle to be important areas for health andlearning School nurses were identified as key persons in HD and for student’s experience ofhealth and learning.Conclusion: HD is an opportunity for students to participate and influence decisions concerning their health and education, to actively engage in their own health and learning inareas that affect them for example, the school environment.
