Alcohol-related help-seeking in problem drinking women sexual assault survivors.
In 2002-2003 correlates of alcohol-related help-seeking were studied in women sexual assault survivors who were current problem drinkers (N = 526) in a large metropolitan area. Volunteer participants completed several valid and reliable instruments (i.e., the TWEAK, GFM, and MAST), which assessed alcohol use and misuse and related help-seeking. Data were analyzed using logistic regression models. Results suggest that correlates of women survivors' alcohol-related help-seeking vary depending on the specific source. Limitations and implications are noted and recommendations for future research are made. This study was funded by the National Institutes on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
