AB  - The education-service partnership described addresses the challenges presented to 
      local health departments and public health nurses in completing required latent 
      tuberculosis (LTBI) follow-up in population groups. A service learning 
      partnership between the local health department and a Midwestern university 
      school of nursing resulted in the development of an LTBI follow-up program that 
      completed contacts with 193 subjects. Populations served by the program included 
      immigrants to the community and workers from several occupational settings. 
      Outcome data from the project included recommendations for the management of the 
      information database for local health department LTBI follow-up. Nursing students 
      gained an appreciation for the complexities involved in TB surveillance, and 
      improved their cultural competence in the interface with Latino, African, and 
      East European immigrant populations. Students gained first-hand experience with 
      the current health care system, which resulted in communication challenges 
      between health care providers and economic barriers in compliance with the CDC 
      protocol for LTBI follow-up. The program demonstrated a successful partnership 
      between service and education with positive results for the LTBI clients and the 
      local health department nurses.
