As computer use in the school health office is becoming a necessity, learning and upgrading technology skills is a high priority for school nurses across the country. The New York State Association of School Nurses and the Statewide Advocacy for School Health Services conducted a needs assessment to determine school nurses’ perceptions of information technology skill level and the use of technology in the school health office. From these data, they have collaboratively developed a computer-mentoring program to be used throughout New York State. This program pairs standardized computer training with the assignment of peer mentors to support novice computer users during the adoption of technology into New York’s school health services.

Key Words: collaboration • information technology • program development • school health • school health office
