The mental health and biosocial context of help-seeking in longitudinal perspective: the Midtown Longitudinal Study, 1954 to 1974.
This study of a representative community survivor sample of 695 respondents from the 1954 Midtown Manhattan Study found that parental socioeconomic status unequivocally predicted help-seeking. Age, gender, adult SES, and impaired mental health in 1954 predicted help-seeking interactively. The mental health of help-seekers continued to be unfavorable, or was worsening, from 1954 to 1974.
