To reach wider and more diverse audiences it is necessary to know more about women who do and who do not currently participate in Extension-type programs. This suggests the need to better understand the information-seeking patterns of women of differing levels of education, work patterns, and participation in community affairs. A study was made in Nebraska of similarities and differences among women as participators in adult education and users of mass media as sources of information. The study was based on a statewide sample of 644 women, ages 21 through 69, randomly selected. Findings are interpreted in relation to their possible meaning for Extension programming.
Marsh et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
