摘要
Perceptions of marriage preparation programs were assessed among Black and White college students. Blacks reported a greater need for marriage preparation than Whites. Findings suggest that marriage preparation programs will reach more Black young adults if they demand fewer hours and weeks and are located near home. Implications are discussed in terms of how a program might be produced priced, and promoted and where it might be held to attract a larger more diverse audience.
