Abstract
This study was conducted using a survey research design to examine the effects of attitudes of black males on their use of Twelve-Step Programs. Seventy recovering black men who attend Twelve-Step meetings were surveyed. A scale was designed to measure the dependent variable, use and attendance of twelve-step meetings and the independent variable, attitudes of black males. Pearson’s "R" was used to test the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between attitudes and the use and attendance of Twelve-Step groups. The research hypothesis that attitudes effect black males use of Twelve-Step meetings was proven. Therefore, the hypothesis was accepted.
