Survey finds female youth perceive Ohio 4-H more favorably than males, suggesting program adjustments.
Results from over 1,400 youth in northwest Ohio reveal that 4-H is perceived more favorably by female than male youth. Parents and friends of youth also tend to encourage females to be active at higher levels than they do males.
