This study demonstrated the effect of training nine lower socio‐economic adults participating as policy board members in a federally funded rural community project to make behaviorally defined statements to increase problem‐solving behaviors in board meetings. A multiple‐baseline design across subjects and skills was used to analyze the behavioral categories of: (1) stating the problem ; (2) finding solutions to the problem, and (3) implementing the action to the solution. Problem‐solving responses during board meetings increased for subjects following training and remained higher than baseline during follow‐up.
