The Attitudes Of College Students Toward The Physically Handicapped: A Study In Social Distance, Joseph Ellis Aug 1971

The Attitudes Of College Students Toward The Physically Handicapped: A Study In Social Distance, Joseph Ellis

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The Impact Of The Federal Stamp Program On Food Purchasing Habits Of The Socioeconomic Class, Joe Turner Jun 1971

The Impact Of The Federal Stamp Program On Food Purchasing Habits Of The Socioeconomic Class, Joe Turner

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The implementation of the Federal Food Stamp program affords an opportunity to do responsible research on this topic due to the manner in which the program is administered. The fact that coverage is authorized on a county basis rather than a state-wide basis, which requires that each individual county request and apply for the Stamp Program, provided the availability of a sample area in southern Kentucky where five contiguous counties existed, three of which were participating in the program and two of which were not. This permitted both a control and experimental group from which to draw a sample.
