“…Morrison et al showed that attitude is the most important anticipant of intention to use marijuana in young women (9). Laflin et al showed that attitude is an important anticipant for drug abuse (10). Therefore, changing adolescent attitude towards drug abuse can be a proper solution in this field and it is, also, necessary to consider the emotional field in specific educational programs of preventing hazardous behaviors.…”

Background: Drug abuse is a general health problem that threatens all groups in human societies. While youths are vulnerable to drug interests, the amplification of their powers along with creating all protective factors in their living environment is helpful in confronting this problem. This study has been performed with the aim of determining the factors related to the tendency towards drug abuse based on positive youth development model among high school students of Isfahan. Objective: This study has been performed with the aim of determining the factors related to the tendency towards drug abuse based on positive youth development model among high school students of Isfahan. Methods: This sectional study has been performed with the participation of 252 male and female high school second graders in Isfahan. The sampling method was a multi-stage cluster. The data-gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire in three parts whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The gathered data were analyzed by SPSS 18 software, Pearson correlation tests, and Regression analysis.

“…Given the long-established relationship between positive attitude toward substance use and actual substance use (Martino & Truss, 1973;Champion & Bell, 1980;Kandel, 1980;Barber & Grichting, 1987;Eiser, Eiser, Gammage, & Morgan, 1989;Laflin, Moore-Hirschl, Weis, & Hayes, 1994) research utilising attitudinal measures, assessing sensitive topics such as substance-related issues, may be more reliable and attract more truthful responses than self-reported behaviours. This is evidenced by the clear and consistent patterns of relationship reported by empirical studies exploring the connection between explicit religion and negative attitudes toward substances (utilising the same or similar measures).…”

A recent research tradition has employed Bailey's (1997Bailey's ( , 1998 notion of implicit religion to explore the ways in which Christian believing in the UK may be persisting in spite of declining levels of church attendance. Working within this framework the first aim of this study is to explore the prevalence of implicit religion, operationalized as attachment to traditional Christian rites of passage, among young people living within the UK. The second aim of this study, following the analytic model proposed by Francis (2013aFrancis ( , 2013b exploring the psychological functions served by explicit religion and implicit religion, is to test the hypothesis that explicit religiosity (operationalized as church attendance) and implicit religiosity (operationalized as attachment to Christian rites of passage) are both associated with proscriptive attitudes toward substances among young people. Data provided by a sample of 12,252 13-to 15-year-old young people support this hypothesis.

“…Whereas social norms inherently refer to the behavior of groups (Ahern et al, 2008), drinking norms are typically measured by the perception of the norm among individuals in the group, with strong associations between perception of permissive norms and increased alcohol use and AUDs (Borsari and Carey, 2001;Caetano and Clark, 1999;Chawla et al, 2007;Greenfi eld and Room, 1997;Lafl in et al, 1994;Lewis et al, 2010). Efforts to change social norms related to substance use can have a substantial public health impact (e.g., the notable decreases over time in tobacco use through public education) (Emery et al, 2005;Farrelly et al, 2005).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Individuals' perceptions of drinking acceptability in their society (perceived injunctive drinking norms) are widely assumed to explain ethnic group differences in drinking and alcohol use disorders (AUDs), but this has never been formally tested. Immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union (FSU) are more likely to drink and report AUD symptoms than other Israelis. We tested perceived drinking norms as a mediator of differences between FSU immigrants and other Israelis in drinking and AUDs. Method: Adult household residents (N = 1,349) selected from the Israeli population register were assessed with a structured interview measuring drinking, AUD symptoms, and perceived drinking norms. Regression analyses were used to produce odds ratios (OR) and risk ratios (RR) and 95% confi dence intervals (CI) to test differences between FSU immigrants and other Israelis on binary and graded outcomes. , and perceive more permissive drinking norms (p < .0001). For all four drinking variables, the FSU group effect was at least partially mediated by perceived drinking norms. Conclusions: This is the fi rst demonstration that drinking norms mediate ethnic differences in AUDs. This work contributes to understanding ethnic group differences in drinking and AUDs, potentially informing etiologic research and public policy aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 73, 981-990, 2012)
