Journal of College Student Development, v37 n4 p448-56 Jul-Aug 1996

Interviews with a random sample of 270 students and a selected sample of 52 key informants showed students were more willing to use self-help groups than key informants predicted. Students were especially willing to use self-help groups for difficulties such as physical handicaps but not for relationship issues. (RJM)
