摘要

This study focuses on the interplay between religiosity and drug use in a sample of 250 adult women from the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area who were interviewed between August 1997 and August 2000. The research addresses two principal questions: (1) Is there a relationship between the level of religiosity and the amount of illegal drug use reported? (2) If so, is this relationship maintained in multivariate analysis when the effects of other potentially relevant factors like demographic characteristics, childhood maltreatment experiences, psychosocial traits, and substance user-related measures are taken into account? We found that religiosity is related to the amount of drugs women used. Four variables were retained in the final multivariate drug use prediction model: religiosity, coping with everyday stresses, number of family members who are substance abusers, and amount of oral sex. Greater amounts of drugs were used by women who were less religious, less capable of coping with stress, had more drug-abusing family members, and reported having more oral sex. Together, these items explained nearly one-fifth of the variance in the dependent variable. The implications for substance abuse prevention and intervention efforts are discussed.

(2)如果是这样,当考虑到其他潜在相关因素(如人口统计学特征,儿童虐待经历,心理社会特征和与吸毒者相关的措施)的影响时,是否在多变量分析中保持这种关系?我们发现宗教信仰与女性使用的毒品数量有关。最终的多元药物使用预测模型中保留了四个变量:宗教信仰,应对日常压力,吸毒者家庭成员的数量以及口交次数。宗教较少,应对压力能力较弱,家庭中滥用药物的家庭成员较多并且报告有更多口交的妇女使用了大量毒品。这些项目一起解释了因变量中近五分之一的方差。讨论了预防和干预药物滥用的意义。
