Impact of Education on Grandparents' Actions in Raising Grandchildren
Doggett, Diana; Marken, Dory M.; Caldwell, Diana J.
Journal of Extension, v52 n3 Article 3TOT8 Jun 2014
Grandparents raising grandchildren represent a population of adults who confront complex interpersonal and environmental challenges. The intent of this case study was to gather and interpret evaluative data to better understand the impact of a 1-day community education program for grandparents who raise their grandchildren. Extension's philosophy of systematic program evaluation to improve supports for families and communities furnished the framework for the project. Elements felt to be essential for a well-designed, 1-day grandparent education program have been extracted from past evaluation cycles and offered here as recommendations.
