This study examined the effects of religious affiliation and other demographic variables in alcohol use and attitudes among adolescents in Trinidad, Tobago and St. Lucia.
The study used a stratified random sample design of 380 male and 455 female students belonging to the 3 major ethnic groups in Trinidad, Tobago and St. Lucia (Afro-Trinidadian, Indo-Trinidadian, and Mixed group).
MANOVA showed an effect for religion, with Hindu adolescents having higher levels of regular alcohol use.
This finding supports the existing research in Trinidad and developed countries on the effect of various religious denominations of alcohol use and attitudes.
本研究考察了特立尼达、多巴哥和圣卢西亚青少年的宗教信仰及其他人口统计学变量对饮酒行为和态度的影响。
该研究采用分层随机抽样设计,选取了特立尼达、多巴哥和圣卢西亚3个主要种族群体(非裔特立尼达人、印度裔特立尼达人及混血群体)的380名男学生和455名女学生。
多变量方差分析显示宗教信仰有影响,印度教青少年经常饮酒的比例更高。
这一发现支持了特立尼达及发达国家现有关于不同宗教派别对饮酒行为和态度影响的研究。
