Help-seeking by African American drug users: A prospective analysis

In this study, help-seeking was significantly more likely for African Ameri can drug users with more formal education and those scoring higher on both drug-related problem recognition and ethnic identity. This latter result su ggests that ethnic identity, despite having no main effect on help-seeking in this sample, may nonetheless make an important contribution to help-seek ing by "potentiating" the influence of drug problem recognition.
