 2008 NASN Poster
Presentation Award Winner
Gayle Starkey, SNANC Central Region
Catherine “Gayle” Starkey RN of Wake County was awarded the top
prize in the Poster Section/Practice Division at the NASN conference in
Albuquerque, NM. Her poster outlined a dog bite prevention program
entitled A "Tail" of Prevention: Partners Tackle a Biting Problem. The
poster demonstrated a simple, engaging and effective method for school
nurses to address a clearly identified safety issue with young students.
According to national data, children under the age of 10 suffer the
highest number of dog bites. A group in Wake County adapted a successful
dog-bite prevention program from Nevada called Bow Wow Ow to address
this issue. The curriculum is targeted for kindergarten through 2nd
graders. A volunteer artist developed a coloring book and certificate of
completion in both English & Spanish. Pre and post tests showed a great
increase in awareness of bite prevention by the students. We are
very proud of Gayle and this program. Congratulations!
