Volunteer adult 4-H leaders in Mississippi were asked to rank 25 training needs in order of importance. The top two needs chosen were (1) obtaining and keeping parent cooperation and (2) gaining information concerning awards. The importance leaders placed on these training needs was further examined in relation to three respondent characteristics: (1) number of training sessions attended, (2) number of years as a leader, and (3) race. A different ranking of needs resulted from each examination.
Johnson et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
