Abstract:
This chapter discusses sociocultural influences on the availability, access, diagnosis, and treatment of alcoholism for women, particularly those in minority groups. Race/ethnicity and other sociocultural influences are presented in terms of the societal context and the counselor-client relationship. The latest data on heavy drinking, alcohol-induced mortality, and alcoholism treatment utilization are presented on African-American, Hispanic, and white women. Data also are presented on the ability to pay for treatment through insurance or earnings. Information on Native Americans and Asian/Pacific Islanders is included whenever possible.
