School nurses' logs offer a simple, cost-effective method to evaluate youth violence prevention programs by tracking injury-related visits. This approach aids in assessing program effectiveness without disrupting school routines.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • School Health
  • Violence Prevention

Background:

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of youth violence prevention programs is crucial.
  • School-based interventions require practical and non-disruptive assessment methods.
  • Identifying reliable data sources for program evaluation in schools is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utility of nurses' logs as a tool for evaluating school-based violence prevention programs.
  • To determine if tracking student visits to the school nurse can indicate program impact on injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized nurses' logs as a data source to record student visits.
  • Analyzed visit data for reductions in fighting- and injury-related nurse visits post-program implementation.

  • Employed a school-level data collection approach, avoiding student-level tracking.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses' logs provide a simple, inexpensive, and continuous data collection method.
    • This approach allows for easy establishment of a baseline and does not interrupt school activities.
    • Potential limitations include insufficient detail and influence from external factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses' logs are a valuable and practical tool for evaluating school violence prevention programs.
    • Standardization and training can enhance the accuracy and usefulness of nurses' log data.
    • This method offers a feasible way to monitor program-associated changes in student injuries.
