Abstract

Characteristics of families and homemakers that left the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) were compared to those of families still enrolled. The two groups were similar in urban and racial-ethnic characteristics. But homemakers leaving the program tended to be younger, better educated, had higher family income, and spent more for food than those that remained active. There was a tendency in some cases for families who dropped out to have slightly better overall diets compared to those who were active. Homemakers who participated 6 months or less usually had better initial diets than those leaving later. Apparently homemakers with better diets tended to drop out earlier.
