title: Working smarter: the use of priorities and a model in designing nursing research.
abstract: It is imperative to maximize our limited resources conducting nursing research through targeting studies in priority areas and structuring projects to foster comprehensiveness and generalizability. This paper reviews priorities for nursing research and presents a model for research, detailing its component domains and the relationships among these domains. It further applies the model to a specific research project concerned with comparing the outcomes of two intensive community-based service programs for children with serious emotional disturbances and discusses the implications of applying this model.
