National Extension Water Quality Outreach Education

Target Audience Database

This database is a tool for identifying research-based findings about specific audiences of interest to water scientists and managers. Findings are derived from research papers describing studies that could claim to identify best education practices (BEPs) for specific audiences.

Once you've identified the types of findings you are looking for, you can refine your search using one of several parameters: audience, theme (outreach techniques or strategies employed), best education practices, or citation. To see the citation for a specific finding or to see other findings from the same citation, click on the specific finding.

Findings reference studies published from 1988 - 2004. We are in the process of reviewing additional studies published in 2004 - 2007 and will add study findings as we are able to.
