Abstract	The book is the final report of an effort to estimate the impact of Community Resource Development (CRD) programs of the late 1950's and 1960's on the quality of life in Arkansas counties. It details an estimation model developed by researchers using specially designed statistical procedures. The report also describes the data taken from CRD records and state and census records for 73 Arkansas counties classified as non-metropolitan in 1960, and explains six quality of life constructs used in the estimation: socioeconomic status, level of business and manufacturing activity, unemployment, youth out-migration, school attendance, and education expenditures. The report indicates that the negative and sometimes surprising findings may be the result of measurement or data validity problems but suggests four more likely explanations: that CRD activity did not have significant positive effects on economic and employment activity, that job training and economic development actitivities actually increased out-migration and unemployment, that objectives especially in the area of social services were achieved at least in part, and that two major shortcomings existed with the model. Appendices include report copies, a master coding form, a list of counties studied, and a description of CRD projects recorded in each category. (SB)
