The Articles have chosen are Diabetes Management at School: Application of the Healthy Learner Model, (Bobo, Kaup et al. (2011a) and A Collaborative Approach to Diabetes Management: The Choice Made for Colorado Schools Wyckoff et al.( 2011b). Both Articles use the Healthy Learner Model for Chronic Condition Management framework with Diabetes Management at School having a qualitative approach to the issue with a focus on how people feel the program is working. Both Articles have several authors including one common author Nichole Bobo. The purpose of Bobo, Kaup et. (2011a) was to improve the school nurses’ ability to provide effective and consistent care to students with diabetes at two schools in the area of the study (Bobo, Kaup, McCarty,

Both Articles use The Healthy Learner Model as a basis for their research. However, the two studies are not identical. Bobo, Kaup et al. (2011a) refers to trailing the program at five schools in Minnesota U.S.A however the article only refers to what occurs at two of those schools this could be a limitation of the study as its sample size could be too small as they clearly planned to have a bigger sample size and choose to talk about data from only two school. Getting a big enough sample size is important making sure there is enough participants get good, relevant information on the topic. (Iacobucci, 2010) Bobo, Wyckoff et al. (2011b) focuses more on the Collaboration of Stakeholders in Colorado, U.S.A rolling out the program at a state-wide level to help school nurses manage the children's Diabetes so they can learn to their full potential. Meaning they should have fewer issues with small sample size although they do state they had a low response from parents with their surveys.
