title: Nursing, health, and policy within a community context.
abstract: This article describes a method of linking curriculum and the nursing role in health policy. Graduate students participated in a project to assess the impact of policy on the health of a community and the implications for nursing. The experience of this project indicates that learning about policy within a community context has merit for helping students understand the impact of policy on nursing.
