		The prevalence of social phobia in the general United States population is difficult to evaluate because researchers differ in their estimation of the threshold of "significant interference" with the person's occupational or educational functioning.
		Social phobia accounts for 10%-20% of the anxiety disorders diagnosed in patients in outpatient clinics, but it is rarely the reason for hospitalizing a patient.

		Social workers, whether they are employed by the corporation or the union, on-site or off-site, work with employees and their families to solve problems such as alcohol or drug abuse, marital discord, or work-related stress.
