本文调查了在具有代表性的非裔美国人样本中，社会人口、家庭和教会因素与来自家庭和教会成员的支持的相关性。家庭和教会支持的总体模式表明，略多于一半的受访者同时接受家庭和教会网络的帮助，四分之一只接受家庭的帮助，大致相等的百分比(9%)只接受教会成员的帮助或不接受任何一个团体的帮助。多项Logistic回归分析被用来检验社会人口(即年龄、婚姻状况、性别、地区、教育程度、收入和都市性)和家庭和教会因素(即家庭亲密度、家庭接触、父母状况和教会参与)作为特定模式和支持来源的预测因素。研究结果表明，在来自家庭和教会的支持模式上，年龄、性别以及婚姻和父母状况存在显著差异。对家庭亲密度、与家庭互动的程度以及参与教会活动的总体水平的看法与不同的援助模式有关。
This article investigates sociodemographic and family and church factors as correlates of support from family and church members among a representative sample of African Americans. Overall patterns of family and church support indicate that slightly more than half of respondents receive assistance from both family and church networks, one quarter receive assistance from family only, and roughly equal percentages (9%) receive help from either church members only or do not receive help from either group. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to examine sociodemographic (i.e., age, marital status, gender, region, education, income, and urbanicity) and family and church factors (i.e., family closeness, family contact, parental status, and church participation) as predictors of specific patterns and sources of support. The findings indicated significant age, gender, and marital and parental status differences in patterns of support from family and church. Perceptions of family closeness, degree of interaction with family, and overall levels of participation in church activities were associated with distinctive patterns of assistance.
