The impact on the attitudes of 4-H policy council members, extension professionals and 4-H adult leaders on the incorporation of an urban 4-H program into the traditional program

The study was designed to (1) provide data for Cooperative Extension Service personnel concerning the impact of changes in attitudes toward policy and administration of 4-H programs and (2) develop ways to integrate an urban 4-H program into the traditional one. One-third of the potential population, 414 individuals, were asked to complete and return questionnaires. Data were obtained from: federal and state Extension Management System, yearly 4-H summaries, 1970 census records, county 4-H department records, a survey instrument administered to policy council members, 4-H adult leaders and extension professionals. The questionnaire consisted of 30 statement divided equally into three areas--policy, personnel, and program relative to the Indiana 4-H program. Validation was conducted through a field testing of counties not selected for the study. Data were analyzed using a frequency of distribution for each group of the study population, the three councils, leader groups and extension professionals, and the total sample of the study.
