Abstrakt:	ABSTRACT BACKGROUND School-based treatment and counseling services ( TCSs) can integrate mind-body techniques ( MBTs) to improve children's health, wellness, and academic performance. We aimed to describe the effect of school-based TCS on MBT-use among students experiencing difficulties with concentration, emotions, behaviors, and getting along ( DCEBG). METHODS National Health Interview Survey data were utilized ( N2007 = 1225; N2012 = 1835). Logistic regression examined associations between TCS-type and MBT-use, while propensity score matching controlled for confounders in the prematch sample. RESULTS Compared with children without DCEBG, MBT-use was higher among children with DCEBG, but it decreased from 2007 (9.7%) to 2012 (5.1%). Receipt of school-based TCS increased from 2007 (11.3%) to 2012 (33.9%). Receipt of school-only TCS, compared with nonschool-only TCS, was associated with lower MBT-use ( OR2007 = 0.20; OR2012 = 0.54). After matching, this difference remained for 2007 (tprematch = −2.77; tpostmatch = −2.00), but not 2012 (tprematch = −2.53; tpostmatch = −0.88). School-only TCS-use increased with family activity limitations; in 2012, it decreased with higher parental education. Mind-body techniques-use was higher in girls and associated with higher parental education and family activity limitations. CONCLUSIONS While the relative increase of MBT integration by school-based TCS is commendable and further encouraged, school mental health practitioners should account for the differential effects of family-level factors on TCS-choice and MBT-use.
