The results of a student screening program performed by the Primary Care Team of Gandía on 359 children (180 males and 179 females) that attended 1. EGB are presented. We reviewed the following: vision, hearing, dentition, somatometry, immunization, and urological and traumatological problems. Children with pathologies were referred to specialists to confirm the diagnosis. Of these children, 78% had some form of pathology. The most frequent system involved was hearing, followed by dentition and vision. The correlation of these results with those of the specialists was good (> 50%). The best results were obtained on vision screening results (100% correlation and 2/3 of the problems formerly detected). Twenty-four percent of the children had caries and this was not of major concern to the families. The worst results were obtained in auditive screening. Because the primary care examination model is not generalized, school screening is still a good method to detect previously undiagnosed pathologies in children.
