This study was initiated by Florissant Valley Community College and conducted by Systems Development Corporation to determine the priority of educational/information needs of three target groups: women, blacks, and older Americans. Among the aims of the project was the identification of existing constraints on community access to sources of information and assistance, such as public agencies. Transportation problems for the target population of project CIRCLE were also investigated, since the college is not served by public transportation. Community desires were surveyed to determine possible course interest, site selection, class programming, and preferred instructional modes. A primary need for legal and consumer information was identified. Statistical presentation of data is broken into male and female populations, black and white populations, and by age groupings. Problems encountered during the course of the project, methodology, and data analysis are presented in detail. Tables and charts representing the data collected are included. (AH)
