Although religiosity has been shown to be associated with positive outcomes in studies of general population samples, few studies have considered the potential differential effect of religiosity on those who are consolidating gay, lesbian, or bisexual (GLB) identities. Logistic regression analyses using a sample of 13,038 emerging adults from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) revealed main effects for religiosity and a significant religiosity x sexual identity interaction in women. Specifically, religiosity was protective against alcohol use and heavy episodic drinking (HED) in heterosexual women, but not lesbian women. In bisexual women, higher religiosity increased the odds of alcohol use and HED. Among men, religiosity was protective, with no differential effects based on sexual identity. Prevention efforts should consider that individual religiosity may be a risk, rather than protective factor for some young adults.
虽然宗教信仰在针对一般人群样本的研究中被证明与积极的结果有关，但很少有研究考虑宗教信仰对那些正在巩固同性恋、双性恋或异性恋（GLB）身份的人的潜在差异影响。使用来自全国青少年健康纵向调查（Add Health）的 13038 名新兴成年人样本进行逻辑回归分析显示，宗教信仰在女性中存在主要影响，以及宗教信仰与性身份的显著相互作用。具体来说，宗教信仰对异性恋女性的饮酒和重度饮酒（HED）有保护作用，但对女同性恋者没有保护作用。在双性恋女性中，较高的宗教信仰增加了饮酒和 HED 的可能性。在男性中，宗教信仰是保护性的，与性身份无关，没有差异效应。预防工作应考虑到，对于一些年轻人来说，个人的宗教信仰可能是一个风险因素，而不是保护因素。
