Monsma, Charles | Bannister, Rosella
Abstract: A report on the major factors which contribute to the effectiveness of state and local consumer education programs focuses on consumer education as a study discipline, the program content of consumer education, and support techniques to ensure program impact. The recommendations derived from the identification of significant aspects of program effectiveness include defining and adopting core concepts, assessing needs, and developing structural independence for consumer education while integrating subject matter with other academic fields. The content of consumer education should be oriented to activism, awareness of social influences, real applications, and future concerns. The support network is dependent on continuing leadership, financial support, better training programs, development of new materials and professional commitment.
