Although the social sciences have studied the influence of social environment on individual behaviors regarding medication, very little research has been done on the variations that exist between patients in equivalent social contexts but with diverse religious backgrounds. This article presents the results of research on the correlation between patients' religious-cultural background (Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or Muslim) and their behaviors regarding medication. It shows that the cultural origin as well as the collective history of the groups to which patients belong impacts their attitudes toward prescriptions, medicines, their own bodies, and doctors.
尽管社会科学已经研究了社会环境对个体用药行为的影响，但对于处于同等社会环境但宗教背景不同的患者之间存在的差异，所做的研究却很少。本文呈现了关于患者宗教文化背景（天主教、新教、犹太教或伊斯兰教）与其用药行为之间相关性的研究结果。研究表明，患者所属群体的文化起源以及集体历史会影响他们对处方、药物、自身身体和医生的态度。
