Using data from two national surveys, findings from this research indicated that blacks were more likely than whites to seek help from mental health professionals, particularly for economic and physical health problems. Blacks also sought help more often than whites from other sources of professional help, such as teachers, lawyers, social workers and emergency rooms. On the other hand, whites were more likely to seek help from medical sources for all types of problems, and from clergy members.
利用两项全国性调查的数据，这项研究的结果表明，黑人比白人更有可能向心理健康专业人员寻求帮助，尤其是在经济和身体健康问题方面。黑人从教师、律师、社会工作者和急诊室等其他专业帮助来源寻求帮助的频率也高于白人。另一方面，白人更有可能就各类问题向医疗来源以及神职人员寻求帮助。
