Participation in State Legislative Activities: A Practical Guide for Family Scientists

Abstract

Now more than ever before, family scientists are interested in public policy. As recently as the early 1980s there was little family science research on policy questions. Few family science professionals considered full-time work in policy development as a career option. Today, as we enter the 1990s, there is a definite increase in family scientists' participation in public policy activities and research. The purpose of this article is to encourage such participation by reviewing selected literature on state legislative activity and by providing practical guidelines for family professionals' involvement in these activities.
