这项研究调查了预测不同的求助模式（无治疗，AA参与，或治疗加AA参与）的变量，这些问题饮酒者保持稳定的戒酒（n = 57）。Colonial验证了受试者的求助和饮酒状况。寻求帮助是由更大的酒精相关的心理社会问题预测的，特别是在人际关系中，但与更重的饮酒习惯或人口统计学特征无关。受试者认为他们可以解决自己的问题，这阻碍了寻求帮助，而关系问题和无法自己退出则促进了寻求帮助。匿名戒酒会特有的其他激励因素包括它的隐私、匿名性、精神方面、帮助其他问题饮酒者的机会，以及在通常饮酒的时候举行的方便的会议。许多受试者在寻求帮助之前就已经禁欲了，特别是从治疗项目中。这些发现暗示人际因素是寻求帮助的主要动机，并表明干预措施通常会巩固而不是启动饮酒习惯的积极变化。
This study investigated variables predicting different help‐seeking patterns (no treatment, AA participation only, or treatment plus AA participation) by problem drinkers who had maintained stable abstinence (n = 57). Collaterals verified subjects' help‐seeking and drinking status. Help‐seeking was predicted by greater alcohol‐related psycho‐social problems, especially in interpersonal relationships, but was not associated with heavier drinking practices or demographic characteristics. Subjects' belief that they could solve their own problem deterred help‐seeking, whereas relationship problems and being unable to quit on one's own facilitated help‐seeking. Additional incentives specific to AA were its privacy, anonymity, spiritual aspects, opportunities to help other problem drinkers, and the convenient meetings held at times typically spent drinking. Many subjects became abstinent before they sought help, especially from treatment programs. These findings implicate interpersonal factors as primary incentives for help‐seeking and suggest that interventions often consolidate, rather than initiate, positive changes in drinking practices.
