title: The at-risk student: a study of visits to the school nurse.
abstract: This study compared rural public school students defined as at-risk and those who were defined as not at-risk to determine if there was a significant difference in the proportion of each group who visited the school nurse. Significant differences were observed between the at-risk and not at-risk students. Implications of these results for the school nurse are discussed.
