“…Believing that using tobacco is culturally acceptable is associated with greater likelihood of tobacco use (Islam & Johnson, 2003). In particular, religiosity is the individuals' degree of adherence to the beliefs, doctrines, and practices of a particular religion (Dube & Wingfield, 2008). Thus, religiosity is a measure of the degree of conformity between individual religious attitudes and teachings and norms of the religion he/she believes in.…”

Background: Compared with the general United States (US) population, Muslims in the US exhibit elevated rates of tobacco use. As a result, they might be at a higher risk for preventive disease and premature death as compared with the general US population. Objective: This study investigated the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) factors that are associated with tobacco use among a sample of adult Muslims in the US. Methods: Data were collected (November 2016-March 2017) using a cross-sectional, on-line survey from a convenience sample of adult (≥ 18 years) US Muslims. Participants with a lung cancer history were excluded. Associations between SCT factors and tobacco use were investigated with bivariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression models.Results: Eligible participants (n = 271) from 30 states completed the survey; 52.8% reported current tobacco use. A higher rate of current tobacco use was reported by men (62.8%) as compared to women (41.3%), x 2 (1, N = 271) = 12.49, p<.001. In terms of cognitive factors, individuals who (1) expected more personal consequences for tobacco use on health, and (2) had more confidence regarding ability to abstain from tobacco use, were less likely to report current tobacco use. In terms of environmental factors, individuals whose family members did not use tobacco were less likely to report current tobacco use.

“…Putney and Middleton () conceptualized religiosity as the level of importance a person places on religious beliefs. Incorporating both beliefs and behavior, Dube and Wingfield defined religiosity as “a person's degree of adherence to the beliefs, doctrines, and practices of a particular religion” (:503). In fact, religiosity is considered a multidimensional construct involving thoughts, feelings, and behavior (Cornwall et al.…”

Domestic violence is an ongoing health issue around the world, propelling individuals and organizations to seek out new and innovative ways to mitigate its widespread reach. Focusing on the potential of religion to positively impact messaging, the current study examines how Christian symbolism might be used to encourage intervention behavior using public service announcements (PSAs). Using a between-subjects design of Christian Americans as the respondent pool, a religious symbol versus a control ad was utilized. Levels of religiosity were also measured and factors impacting the construct assessed. Findings revealed religiosity, the importance of religion in one's life, was the underlying motivator for highly religious people to act rather than a religious cue. Within religiosity, the perceived strength of faith to one's identity held greater value than church attendance and frequency of prayer. Theoretical implications are discussed as well as insights for people working in public service messaging.

“…53 Additionally, rules of using tobacco inside the home were assessed using one item with a 3-point response scale (1=not allowed, 2=allowed in some places, 3=allowed anywhere). 37 During analysis, this item was collapsed into 2 categories due to lack of distribution (1=not allowed, 2=allowed at least sometimes or in some places).…”

“…Religiosity and acculturation are also environmental factors that may influence individuals' adoption of social norms. Religiosity refers to an individuals' degree of adherence to the beliefs, doctrines, and practices of a particular religion [37]. Religiosity can influence social norms as it measures the degree of compliance between individual religious attitudes and teachings and norms of the religion in which he/she believes.…”

Muslims in the United States (US) exhibit higher rates of tobacco use in comparison with rest of the US population. As a result, US Muslims might be at a higher risk for negative health consequences of tobacco use such as lung cancer. Investigating factors that are associated with tobacco use, number of smoking cessation attempts, and interest in lung screening in adult US Muslims can facilitate future efforts aimed at improving health outcomes, essentially through reducing tobacco use rates and promoting preventive lung screening in this population. Therefore, the current dissertation aimed to investigate the association of Social Cognitive Theory factors with 1) tobacco use, 2) number of serious smoking cessation attempts, and 3) interest in lung screening in a sample of adult Muslims in the US.
