title: School nurse's assistant expert screening system.
abstract: The School Nurse's Assistant is designed to aid the School Nurse by providing a diagnostic discovery tool that also educates the student through the use of multimedia. Response initiated questions focus on the most pertinent student risk factors: lifestyle choices such as alcohol, drugs, and sexual activity. Because the questions are patient driven, the student stays interested as only relevant questions are presented. The School Nurse's Assistant provides the school nurse with increased sociographic information, and delivers cost-effective information to high risk segments of the student population. The potential for successful intervention is dramatic.
