Description
Summary:
These abstracts of 42 studies of extension program results, which make up the second volume of a two-volume resource, are intended to advise state administrative program leaders and others with program evaluation responsibilities of how to design studies of cooperative extension programs. Designed to support volume I, which refers to these abstracts, this volume provides examples of four basic study designs. The abstracts represent extension programs in agriculture, natural resources, community development, 4-H youth, home economics, and an overall county extension program. The studies are listed according to the four basic study designs that they exemplify: survey (ex-post facto), time-series, comparison group, and field experiment. Studies are ordered alphabetically within a design category by the author's name. An index alphabetically lists studies by author's name with program area categories. Each abstract follows this format: author(s), title, institution, year, number of pages, program description, evaluation approach/method, findings, and conclusion. An alphabetized index of studies concludes the volume. (YLB)
