 AB    This demonstration project used student nurses (n = 12) on community
       deployment to provide health instruction among rural school-age
       populations in Zimbabwe. A quasi-experimental (pre- and post-test),
       non-equivalent control group design was used and consisted of 141 school
       pupils in the intervention group and 144 pupils in the comparison group
       (N = 285). The curriculum focused on prevention of STDs, HIV/AIDS and
       drugs (alcohol, tobacco and marijuana). A gain in health knowledge
       scores among the intervention group was reported at post-test. More than
       70% of the pupils who received health instruction from student nurses
       gave a high approval rating of student nurses' performance. Further,
       student nurses, teachers and tutors all support school health
       instruction by student nurses although tutors and teachers differ on
       teaching about condoms.
