title: Using public health nursing data for program advocacy.
abstract: Developing and maintaining public health nursing programs in an era of funding cutbacks is a challenge faced by all public health nursing administrators today. The authors describe the development, testing, and implementation of a public health nursing data collection method, which proved to be invaluable in describing and justifying public health nursing services to policy makers, legislative representatives, and community residents.
