CSNO Vision & Dental Resources Survey 2026:
The California School Nurses Organization is working to better understand how school nurses across the state support students in accessing vision and dental care, especially those without private insurance. Your responses will help identify current practices, gaps in access, and opportunities to strengthen support for students and families. This information will also be used to develop and share a statewide vision and dental referral resource list for California school nurses.
 
The survey should take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Some questions ask about your experiences and best estimates; if you are unsure, please answer to the best of your knowledge. Your input is incredibly valuable and will help inform practical tools, resources, and advocacy efforts to improve student access to care across California. Thank you for your time and for the work you do to support student health.
