Abstracts were prepared in conjunction with a research project designed to identify correlates of extent of educative activity of young men and women under age 25 who either dropped out from high school, or who graduated but who did not continue for any full time post high school education. The list is exceedingly selective in that it includes references that appeared relevant to the objectives of one specific research project, excluding those research reports and summaries that were available to the investigators. Because multiple copies of the set of abstracts were needed by the project team, additional copies were prepared for other interested researchers. (author/aj)
