Abstract
Alcohol-related behavior of Black and White female problem drinkers were examined. Subjects included 163 Whites and 38 Blacks currently in treatment. Some similarities and important differences between Black and White women in terms of selected factors were indicated. When social background factors are held constant, race continues to be a significant predictor of selected drinking behavior factors. White problem-drinking women are more likely than their Black counterparts to perceive difficulties in male-female relations as a major cause of their alcohol problems. Implications for improving prevention and treatment services to women as discussed.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
