“…Studies report a lower chance of exposure to alcohol and lifetime use among adolescents involved in religious practices 21,22,23 . The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health in the USA found that both public and private domains of religiosity were protective against cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana use.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the frequency of binge drinking and associated factors in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The sample consisted of 436 adolescents. Data collection involved the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. Ordinal logistic regression was used in the multivariate analysis. An increase in the frequency of binge drinking was found among adolescents who lived in areas of greater social vulnerability (OR = 1.64; 95%CI: 1.01-2.68), those whose mothers consumed alcoholic beverages (OR = 1.75; 95%CI: 1.05-2.92), those whose fathers consumed alcoholic beverages (OR = 2.02; 95%CI: 1.11-3.68), those with an increased risk of tobacco use (OR = 2.82; 95%CI: 1.07-7.42) and those who attended religious services (OR = 2.10; 95%CI: 1.30-3.38). Knowledge regarding factors associated with a change in the frequency of binge drinking among adolescents can assist in the establishment of public policies directed at health promotion and the prevention of adverse health conditions.

“…This finding raises an interesting question: What unique aspects of religious service attendance deter college students from engaging in these health-risk behaviors? As findings from other studies suggest, perhaps the social norms and social pressures from fellow church members to abstain from health-risk behaviors, as well as reduced contact with deviant peers deter college students who frequently attend religious services from alcohol and marijuana use (Bartkowski and Xu 2007). Or, this effect may be attributable to findings suggesting that risk-averse individuals tend to be more religious than those with a greater propensity for risk-taking (Miller and Hoffman 1995).…”

Examining Attachment to God and Health Risk-Taking Behaviors in College Students

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Drawing on insights from attachment theory, this study examined whether three types of attachment to God--secure, avoidant, and anxious--were associated with health-risk behaviors, over and above the effects of religious attendance, peer support, and demographic covariates, in a sample of 328 undergraduate college students. Contrary to prior theory, secure attachment to God is not inversely associated with recent alcohol or marijuana use, or substance use prior to last sexual intercourse. Instead, avoidant and anxious attachment to God are associated with higher levels of drinking; anxious attachment to God is associated with marijuana use; and avoidant attachment to God is associated with substance use prior to last sexual intercourse. These patterns are gender-specific; problematic attachment to God is linked with negative outcomes solely among men.

“…Lundborg [2005], conducendo una ricerca tra un gruppo di giovani della popolazione svedese, ha concettualizzato il capitale sociale nelle forme della partecipazione sociale e fiducia nelle persone e ha trovato che esso era negativamente associato con la probabilità di fumare e di assumere droghe illecite. Bartkowski & Xu [2007], adottando una prospettiva di capitale sociale basata sulla fede religiosa e definendo il capitale sociale come l'associazione del soggetto a networks religiosi, hanno scoperto che esso dissuadeva i giovani dall'uso di sostanze stupefacenti. Boyce et al [2008], investigando il capitale sociale degli adolescenti nella forma del supporto ricevuto dal vicinato e della fiducia riposta in esso al fine di analizzare la sua associazione con i comportamenti a rischio di uso di droga e le condotte dannose per la salute, hanno trovato che la probabilità di essere coinvolti in comportamenti a rischio era maggiore nei soggetti con più bassi livelli di capitale sociale rispetto a coloro che presentavano più elevati livelli del medesimo.…”
