Nurse home visitation is well established and associated
with positive, long-term outcomes (Goodman, 2006; Olds
et al., 2004, 2007). In the educational literature, Jacobson
(2008) recommends that school personnel conduct home
visits to better establish communication with families with
children who have high absenteeism. This author was unable
to find any literature about the efficacy of school nurse home
visitation.
