Use of Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Students to Provide Services in Rural School-Based Health Clinics
Seventy to eighty percent of youth receiving mental health services receive these services in schools. Nurses have been identified as the second major provider of mental health services in the schools, yet little has been written about the role of psychiatric mental health nurses in rural school‐based clinics or how they were trained in this role. This paper describes an innovative clinical experience for graduate students to shape the role of advanced psychiatric mental health nurses in rural, minority schools using evidence‐based approaches. The authors describe the context, theoretical frameworks, role development, outcomes, and lessons learned.

Awareness and preparedness for emergencies at local level - UNEP's APELL programme
Awareness and preparedness for emergencies at local level (APELL) is a tool developed by the United Nations Environment Programme's Industry and Environment office (UNEP IE), in conjunction with governments and industry. Its purpose is to minimize the occurrence and harmful effects of technological accidents and emergencies, particularly, though not exclusively, in developing countries. APELL was launched in 1988, following various industrial accidents which had adverse impacts on health and the environment - Bhopal in 1984 and the Sandoz warehouse fire near Basel in 1986, which resulted in extensive contamination of the Rhine, are obvious examples. This paper describes the APELL process and some of the tools which have been developed to implement it, especially the APELL Handbook. Some of the activities of UNEP's APELL program are also described and examples of APELL implementation are given. Finally the future of APELL is considered.

Differential modes of external change agent support in diffusion of innovation
The main goal of this multiple-case exploratory study was to examine and describe the processes, perceptions and changes that occurred at the school level in ten south Louisiana middle schools, as the result of external change agent assistance given through the Louisiana School and District Accountability Program. Within this primary goal, the perception of external change agent influence on: (1) school effectiveness processes (i.e., discipline, teacher collaboration, expectations and quality of instruction); and (2) Fullan's school improvement processes were examined. This multiple case study involved five middle schools in Louisiana with two types of external change agents [i.e., the Distinguished Educator (DE) and District Support Team (DST)] matched with five middle schools with only a DST. These two groups of schools (DE + DST and DST only) were examined through classroom observations (i.e., 107 observations using the Louisiana Components of Effective Teaching), document analysis, school site visits, and interviews. The perception of the external change agent's influence on school effectiveness processes and school improvement processes were examined qualitatively and quantitatively. DEs were perceived as having high influence on teacher collaboration, expectations of teachers/students, and the quality of instruction. DSTs in schools without a DE were not perceived to have any influence on these school effectiveness processes. In three of the five DE schools, the DSTs were considered high or moderately effective. The higher efficacy of the DSTs in DE + DST schools was due to a greater level of involvement by the teams on the school's site, a high level of district leadership serving on the teams, and resources provided by the team. Overall, seven of the ten teams were not perceived as having influence on school improvement activities. MANOVA and ANOVA results relating to differences on effective teaching behaviors between the two groups (DE + DST and DST only) revealed a significant multivariate effect for two instructional components and four measures of teaching effectiveness. The DE + DST schools had significantly higher rates of effective teaching than did the DST only schools. The presence of the DE appears to have a positive effect in attitudinal, behavioral, and cognitive areas.
