abstract
A goal of Extension in the Land Grant University System is to develop education programs and materials that effectively disseminate information from research out to end users in the state or region. A difficult task in extension is to quantify the impacts of extension program outputs on changes in knowledge or behavior. This study will examine the effectiveness of extension educational materials used by landowners in the Northern Plains and Mountains Region. The overall goal in developing and disseminating the materials was to improve understanding of soil and water issues among the target audience, landowners in the region. It is hypothesized that the materials were effective in increasing the knowledge base of landowners. The methods used to test the hypothesis will include targeted written and phone surveys. Data will be analyzed using standard statistical methods, such as Chi-square. The results will be used to assess 1) the quality of the program materials and 2) the effectiveness of the extension program on changing knowledge of the targeted audience. This study will increase our understanding of the effectiveness of the approaches used to disseminate information and products in extension programs. note
