D.There has been fewer outcomes research conducted on counseling approaches for adults than for children.

Answer 1

Answer: A) and D)

Explanation:

• Studies that are showing which counseling will best approach most ethnic and racial groups that can be found in the United States are very helpful because according to studies those kinds of groups have their beliefs and they have, for example, a higher level of subjective religiosity than whites. They are also more likely to experience trauma or some bad experience in which they will need help and this treatment can help them a lot.

• People are more likely to approach the treatments and studies for younger persons and children than adults. People must help those children with problems while they are active in the educational system.
