Alcoholism in the Families of Origin of MSW Students: Estimating the Prevalence of Mental Health Problems Using Standardized Measures.

Hawkins, Catherine A.; Hawkins, Raymond C., II

Journal of Social Work Education, v32 n1 p127-34 Win 1996

A 1991 study of 136 graduate social work students determined students' status as adult children of alcoholics (ACAs) by self-report and standardized screening test scores, and evaluated mental health functioning with four standardized measures. Results found that 47% of the social work students were ACAs, and not all (or only) ACAs were vulnerable to mental health problems. (Author/MSE)
