Behavioral and family life patterns of Franco Americans in northeast Vermont. Based on, and compared with, various research conducted on family characteristics and individual roles within French Canadian families in rural Québec. Considerations of traditional gender roles, parental and child duties, culturally reinforced beliefs, and some of the structures that either support or challenge these patterns among Vermont Franco Americans. The implications of these characteristics and behaviors for healthcare, caretaking, and other social services; suggestions for social service workers in providing for and communicating with Vermont Franco Americans. Later published and featured in "A Franco-American Overview: Volume 3."
