Researchers used path analysis to examine self-stigma, help seeking, and alcohol and other drug (AOD) use in a community sample of individuals (N = 406) recruited through the crowdsourcing platform MTurk. Self-stigma of help seeking contributed to AOD use and was mediated by help-seeking attitudes. We discuss the implications for advocacy and…

The commonality is one of underlying conditions that provide the individual-intellectual integrations. Three forms identify the commonality. The first is the causal commonality, the second is the generalizing commonality, third is the intertwining commonality.
