The likelihood of seeking help from social workers in Israel: Effect of gender,religiosity and prior experience of receiving professional help from social workers
This study was conducted in Israel. It shows that women, religious people and those with prior experience of receiving professional help from social workers have a higher likelihood of seeking help from social workers than men, non-religious people and those who have never received professional help from social workers (respectively). The conclusion of the research is that social workers must be aware of population groups who have a lower likelihood of seeking their help, and must act to promote education among these groups concerning the roles of social workers and the significance of seeking professional help.
