The purpose of this paper is to describe student experiences as a research assistant on the Health Care Choices Project, a study of the use of complementary therapy by older adults living in rural areas. The goal of this project, headed by a doctorally prepared nurse faculty member, was to “explore the use, cost, and satisfaction with complementary therapy by older adults in rural communities” (Shreffler, 1999). The research group recruited both undergraduate and graduate students from three university campuses to participate in the project. Undergraduate students were primarily recruited to assist with telephone interviewing, piloting, media campaigning, and to further their own academic experience. Graduate students participated in data collection, data processing, and data analysis and were able to apply their work to degree completion.
