ABSTRACT
In response to data from the initial survey published in October 2001, interventions were developed to increase vision screening knowledge and promote use of the Iowa Vision Screening Program Guidelines. The purpose of this evaluation was to measure differences in practice after interventions, including attendance at a half-day workshop and practice session. Results of the study indicate that participants of the workshop and practice session were more likely to conduct yearly distance and near vision, and depth perception screening. In addition, they were more likely to use the recommended screening instruments for distance and near vision, and depth perception. They were also much more likely to use recommended referral criteria for all types of screening and to have changed some aspect of their vision screening practice in the past year. Results are presented with implications for school nursing practice.
