Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the effectiveness of rural home economics extension work in Franklin County, Massachusetts, in 1936. The author studies 171 rural families to define the characteristics of those being reached by the program, comparing participants and non-participants. The research uncovers the influence of socio-economic status and organizational affiliation on participation, challenging the perception that extension programs are universally accessible. The study evaluates the effectiveness of the program through changes in homemaking practices, revealing the substantial influence of extension teaching methods like demonstrations and bulletins. Ultimately, the book highlights the need for extension services to consider factors like transportation and childcare when designing programs to engage non-participating rural communities.
