Abstract
The purpose of this study was to extend previous work conducted to und erstand the problem concerns and help-seeking likelihood of Asian-Amer ican college students. A sample of 596 undergraduate and graduate Asia n-American students returned a survey questionnaire (response rate 53. 8%). Results indicated that previous counseling experience was related to higher ratings for substance abuse concerns and willingness to see k help from a university counseling center to address academic, interp ersonal, and substance abuse concerns. Asian-American women indicated higher severity ratings for substance abuse issues than did Asian-Amer ican men.
