The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive annotated public-domain bibliography of the literature on spirituality and addictions to facilitate future research and scholarship.
A search was conducted of all citations listed in the MEDLINE, PsychINFO and ALTA Religion databases covering a period from 1941 to 2004 using the following search terms: substance abuse, substance dependence, addiction, religion, spirituality. A group of experts in the field then classified each citation according to empirically derived categories.
A total of 1353 papers met the search parameters and were classified into 10 non-exclusive categories: (1) attitudes toward spirituality and substance use, (2) commentaries, (3) spiritual practices and development in recovery, (4) spiritual and religion variables in the epidemiology of substance abuse, (5) psychoactive substances and spiritual experiences, (6) religious and spiritual interventions, (7) literature reviews, (8) measurement of spirituality and addictions, (9) 12-Step spirituality and (10) youth and development.
The literature is voluminous, but has focused primarily in a few areas. Common findings included an inverse relationship between religiosity and substance use/abuse, reduced use among those practising meditation and protective effects of 12-Step group involvement during recovery. Although sound instruments are available for measuring spirituality, studies have tended to use simplistic, often single-item measures.
本研究的目的是编制一份关于灵性与成瘾问题的全面注释公共领域文献目录，以促进未来的研究和学术探讨。
使用以下检索词，对MEDLINE、PsychINFO和ALTA宗教数据库中列出的涵盖1941年至2004年期间的所有文献进行检索：药物滥用、药物依赖、成瘾、宗教、灵性。然后，该领域的一组专家根据实证得出的类别对每篇文献进行分类。
共有1353篇论文符合检索标准，并被分为10个非排他性类别：（1）对灵性与物质使用的态度，（2）评论，（3）康复中的灵性实践与发展，（4）药物滥用流行病学中的灵性和宗教变量，（5）精神活性物质与灵性体验，（6）宗教和灵性干预，（7）文献综述，（8）灵性与成瘾的测量，（9）12步灵性，（10）青年与发展。
相关文献数量众多，但主要集中在几个领域。常见的研究结果包括宗教信仰与物质使用/滥用之间的负相关关系、冥想者物质使用减少以及康复期间参与12步团体的保护作用。尽管有可靠的工具可用于测量灵性，但研究往往采用简单化的、通常是单项的测量方法。
