Abstract

Two independent telephone surveys were conducted to assess the benefits which have accrued to former ABE students since their attendance. A sample of 351 former students from 1973-1974 and one of 1536 persons eligible for ABE who had never enrolled were selected through separate multistage designs and constituted a treatment and a control group respectively. Interviews were completed between April and July, 1977. The study revealed significant impact for former ABE students on measures of social involvement, employment and educational contin uance. However in the areas of parent/school relationships, voting, and home ownership results more often favored the control group. The limitations of a telephone study of ABE students are discussed. Recommendations for building alternative, comprehensive, complex methodologies to assess program impact are provided.
