“…Remarkably, the levels of these behaviours decrease with age. As expected from the literature, religiosity predicted substance use (Brownfield & Sorenson, 1991;Kuipers, Stam, & Zwart, 1997;Nonnemaker, Mcnelly, & Blum, 2003;Wills, Gibbons, Gerrard, Murry, & Brody, 2003), but not other deviant behaviour (Benda & Corwyn, 1997). Social stability-living within a core family-proved to have negligible influence on deviant behaviour.…”

Despite their common multi-ethnic populations, the meaning and application of the term ethnicity varies between the United States, Canada and the Netherlands. This paper attempts the construction of a racial/ethnic measure that enables meaningful cross-national comparisons. As part of the Drugs, Alcohol and Violence International (DAVI) project, the link between different measures of ethnicity and alcohol use, drug use, violence, and delinquency was studied within samples of 14-to 17-year-old juvenile detainees and dropouts in Philadelphia, Toronto and Amsterdam. Results showed a relationship between origin (the most discriminating of ethnicity measures) and alcohol and drug use, but not violence-related behaviour. Differences in substance use and violence were more attributable to differences between countries and samples than between Fwestern_ and Fnon-western_ youth.

“…The same four questions (four-point scales, ranging from ''very little'' to ''very much'') for mother and for father were: (1) How much did you like being with ___ , (2) how close did you feel to ___ , (3) how much did you want to be like your ___ , and (4) how much did you enjoy spending time with ___ (female or male caregiver). Factor analyses in several data sets supported this distinction (Benda & Corwyn, 1997Benda & Toombs, 2000a;. Caregiver monitoring was measured with five items (four-point scales, ranging from ''very little'' to ''very much'') asking how closely caregivers supervised: (1) spending money, (2) peer associations, (3) movies and parties, (4) how late you stay out, and (5) school activities (during childhood and adolescence).…”

“…As seen in Table 1, no definite pattern was seen as to whether denomination could be used to usefully predict delinquency. A trend in this literature linked evangelical or fundamentalist denominations with lower levels of antisocial behaviors [15,40]; however, this was not always seen [41].…”

The aim of the current article is to review the literature on religion and spirituality as it pertains to adolescent psychiatric symptoms. One hundred and fifteen articles were reviewed that examined relationships between religion/spirituality and adolescent substance use, delinquency, depression, suicidality, and anxiety. Ninety-two percent of articles reviewed found at least one significant (p < .05) relationship between religiousness and better mental health. Evidence for relationships between greater religiousness and less psychopathology was strongest in the area of teenage substance use. Methods of measuring religion/spirituality were highly heterogeneous. Further research on the relationship of religion/spirituality to delinquency, depression, suicidality, and anxiety is warranted. Measurement recommendations, research priorities, and clinical implications are discussed.
