Suppose that a six-month parent education program was developed at an urban university and successfully implemented with mothers who gave birth at a public hospital

Suppose that a six-month parent education program was developed at an urban university and successfully implemented with mothers who gave birth at a public hospital. When the same program was offered to families qualifying for public aid in several rural areas, young mothers seldom returned for even 134 the second or third session. Use the ideas in this chapter to develop some approaches to learn why the program was valued in one setting, but thoroughly rejected in the second setting.
