Journal of Social Work Education, v28 n1 p85-97 Win 1992

A study of 352 social work students (predominantly from minority group backgrounds and admitted to an undergraduate social work program between 1980 and 1987) examined factors contributing to retention or attrition and possible strategies for reaching out to students at risk. The report is described, and the research methodology is presented as a model for future studies. (Author/MSE)
