Abstract
Conducting research on substance abuse prevention among college students is highly sensitive and requires careful planning, ethical considerations, and effective communication. This article describes the practical challenges encountered by nursing student researchers during data collection for a study assessing knowledge regarding prevention of substance abuse among college students. The experiences highlighted include administrative barriers, participant management issues, communication challenges, and ethical concerns during the research process. The article also discusses the strategies adopted to overcome these difficulties and the positive outcomes achieved through health education sessions conducted after data collection.
