The correlation between gender and sources of help was found to be significant for problem type (Academic, χ=14.01 at σ < .05; Financial, =9.41 at σ < .05; Emotional/Personal, χ=26.39 at σ < .05; Peer Pressure χ=20.13 at < .05; and Spiritual, χ= 15.17 at σ < .05). In Family related problems was found to be insignificant with χ= 4.58 at σ < .05.
