James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., The adult population with reading levels below the fourth grade was identified through a Home Economics program needs assessment. Food and Nutrition specialists and professional staff developed a series of low literacy fact sheets covering nutrition, food safety, recipe preparation and food buying. Reading level of the fact sheets varies from third to sixth grade. The items were reviewed by the local literacy council and pilot tested with Adult Basic Education classes and at congregate meal sites. Camera-ready copies have been provided to County Extension Home Economists for use in a variety of programs. Ohio agents have reported collaborating with more than 30 agencies and organizations to distribute these materials. Additional fact sheets are being prepared for inclusion in the series.

search through journal, Data were collected from 371 farmers is east central Ohio to assess how attitudes, personal characteristics, and farm structure factors influence use of soil conservation practices at the farm level. A diffusion-farm structure model was used to guide the study. The findings revealed that the theoretical perspective had limited utility for predicting use of several farming practices evaluated in the study. The best predictors were farm structure variables, which suggests that structural conditions of the existing farming system in the US are significant considerations int eh decision making process concerning the selection of specific farming practices. The implications of the study findings for future soil and water conservation efforts in the US are discussed. (original).
