Abstract
Data from personal interviews and questionnaires were collected from alcoholics in treatment, alcoholism treatment agency directors and community gatekeepers. The health services utilization model proposed investigated individual predisposing factors; client attitudes and beliefs about alcohol, treatment, and health; client personal enabling traits; client social enabling characteristics; and structural characteristics of treatment services. Results discussed include the effects of structural characteristics of treatment agencies on alcoholic women's use of these agencies; gender specific differences in predisposing, personal enabling and social enabling factors and in attitudes and beliefs; ethnic differences among women in personal and environmental barriers to treatment; knowledge, attitudes and referral practices of community gatekeepers; and evaluation of workshop designed to train community gatekeepers to identify and refer alcoholics, particularly women alcoholics.
