This study examined the help-seeking behaviors of people with work limitations in a nationally representative sample from the 1998 National Health Interview Survey. Results indicated that respondents with work limitations reported serious personal or emotional problems more frequently and sought help more often than did respondents without work limitations. When the sample was limited to respondents who reported a serious personal or emotional problem within the past 12 months, those who were unable to work at all sought help at more than twice the rate of those with no work limitation. These findings held true even after controlling for other factors related to work limitation and help-seeking behavior, such as sex and age.
