Objective: To verify the association between religiosity and the pattern of alcohol and tobacco consumption among the population assisted by primary health care services. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 363 individuals over 18 years of age. The variable of exposure, religiosity, was evaluated according to the Duke University Religion Index. The outcome, alcohol and tobacco consumption, was evaluated through the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) questionnaire. The association between exposure and outcome was verified based on a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: There was a high prevalence of alcohol and tobacco consumption among most vulnerable groups. Organizational and intrinsic religiosity were protective factors in relation to moderate and high alcohol and tobacco consumption. Conclusion: The higher the score for organizational and intrinsic religiosity, the lower the consumption of alcohol and tobacco.
