Combining service learning and research: partnering with schools.
Providing service and research experiences for nursing students is a challenge. The authors discuss a partnership with local parochial schools in which nursing students presented health information and collected data. Through this partnership, families and school personnel gained knowledge of health promotion behaviors, and nursing students were involved in a service-learning and research project.
