A school-based health centre partnership: Faculty practice, nursing student learning and wellness in youth, families and community.

Aims And Objectives: This paper describes the development of a SBHC with an innovative model of care that grew out of a partnership between a public-school district and a university nursing programme in the midwestern region of the United States.

Background And Purpose: Persistent barriers to health and health care experienced by youth are well documented. School-based health centres (SBHCs) can improve educational and health outcomes, positively impacting health equity.

Service learning within community-engaged research: Facilitating nursing student learning outcomes.

The objective of this manuscript is to describe a method of integrating baccalaureate nursing student service-learning experiences within a randomized controlled trial conducted in a community setting to facilitate student learning and expose students to the nursing scientist role. Placing students in a research service-learning experience involved several steps beginning with finding a nursing program for potential collaboration where this service-learning opportunity would be a natural fit with course content and formalizing the collaboration between the two institutions. Upon receipt of research grant funding, researchers and course faculty worked to navigate logistics and place students within the service-learning experience.
