The Adult Literacy Program Attrition Problem: Identification at Intake.

Diekhoff, George M.; Diekhoff, Karen Bembry

Adult Literacy and Basic Education, v8 n1 p34-47 1984

This study examined intake records from 114 students enrolled in literacy training. Several variables obtained at intake were found to be related to persistence. Dropouts tended to (1) be young and Hispanic, (2) not be seeking high school equivalency certification, (3) be unemployed but available for work, and (4) have other illiterate family members.
