Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.

2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.

A consumer education class taught by Magoffin Family and Consumer Sciences Agent addressed interior design choices that can add value and meet changing needs of the family. Over 200 leaders were trained, and after training, leaders taught this lesson in their communities, reaching 3,095. Following, 61% of respondents understood universal kitchen and bath design and concerns for aging; 72% understood lighting concepts; and 46% grasped high-impact, low-cost solutions. 61% used green products, energy star appliances, and water conservation. 36% incorporated universal design elements. 68% evaluated the degrees of Kelvin when making lighting purchases. The educational publication was made available to other extension agents, and marketing material will be distributed to additional individuals and families.
