A study was conducted to determine the needs and interests of teens in 4-H and whether the Washington State Conference is meeting those needs and interests. A mail survey was developed and sent to 557 teen 4-H members in Washington who were randomly selected from the 1985 state enrollment list. Three hundred and sixty questionnaires were returned (65 percent). Data were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System computer program. The findings indicate that 4-H members are very interested in issues of male/female relationships, drugs and alcohol, teen/parent relations, child abuse, nuclear war, and crime. Respondents rated 4-H projects, county and state fairs, and the state conference in that order of their interest and involvement. However, those who had attended the state conference ranked it higher. Of those who had attended the conference, 90 percent said it was a good experience, although a number said the cost of the conference was a problem. Twenty-four percent of those who had never attended the state conference but were aware of it said that the cost was a deterrent to their attendance. Recommendations were made regarding the cost, marketing, and programming of the state conference; 4-H in general; and the need for further study. (Author/KC)
