Description
A sample of 120 low-income families receiving USDA food commodities in three eastern South Dakota counties was studied to: 1) provide a socio-demographic overview of the characteristics possessed by these families; 2) test the applicability of the Culture of Poverty approach for classifying rural, low-income families; 3) attempt to construct a typology based on the extent of homogeneity of heterogeneity exhibited among low-income rural families; and 4) present the implications of the study for policy making and program planning.
