Nurse-Role Dimensions of a School-Based Hypertension Screening, Education, and Follow-Up Program.

Spratlen, Lois Price

Journal of School Health, v52 n3 p174-178 Mar 1982

A hypertension screening and followup program was made available to inner-city adolescents. Results support the idea that research studies on hypertension in adolescents have a greater impact on participants when the school nurse is a member of the research team. The role of the school nurse should be that of educator, followup facilitator, counselor, and community liaison coordinator. (JN)
