Each quarterly issue also contains detailed indexes by subject and by author. Each annual issue has the same indexes which cover the entire year. Look up your subject in the index in the back of the volume. Under the broad subject heading are several very brief descriptions of articles. Note the abstract number of the citation you want and turn to the front part of Social Work Abstracts to find that citation and abstract, as illustrated on the reverse.
