Evaluating Self-Help Support Groups for Medical Students.

Goetzel, Ronnie Z.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v59 n4 p331-40 Apr 1984

A survey of medical students in self-help groups revealed that social affiliation and an opportunity to express feelings in a "safe" environment were primary attractions. Nonprofessional faculty contact, support from fellow students, and stimulating discussions about medicine were the main benefits. (Author/MSE)
