Abstract	Conducted to determine which, if any, variables tend to indicate potential success (operationally defined as completing the training program), an analysis examined pre-center characteristics and demographic variables of participants and attempted to apply that data to success in negotiating the Mountain Plains program, a residential, family-based education program developed to improve the economic potential and lifestyle of selected student families in a six-state area. The analysis employed a regression statistic applied to forty-three pre-center variables. The results indicated that the pre-center variables provided little or no insight in the ability to predict program completion. (Author/BM)
