Abstract
Data collected in a pilot study of 57 Alcoholism Treatment Centers were used to test the hypothesis that different racial, age, and sex groups were associated with different referral sources. Regression analysis was used to predict types of referral from specific demographic groups. The analysis confirmed the hypothesis, suggesting a possible discriminatory referral process.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
