Research concerning the topic of possible association of religiosity and substance use has already brought forth a significant amount of data, identifying strong belief in a religion as a protective factor in most cases. However, as in all other subject areas dealing with correlations between religion and health components, the issue of religiosity and substance (ab)use also produced some conflicting findings, hindering the formulation of a clear and stable consensus interpretation of this relationship. The aim of our examination was to provide empirical data for clarifying uncertainties about the possible effects of religiosity on substance use by examining a sample which is remarkable in Hungary: 1337 clinically diagnosed drug abuser patients and 205 normal controls. Based on our results we suggest some changes on the general approach of the effect of religiosity on substance use.
关于宗教信仰与物质使用之间可能存在关联这一主题的研究已经产生了大量数据，在大多数情况下，确定强烈的宗教信仰是一个保护因素。然而，正如在所有其他涉及宗教与健康因素之间相关性的学科领域一样，宗教信仰与物质（滥用）使用问题也产生了一些相互矛盾的研究结果，这阻碍了对这种关系形成清晰且稳定的共识性解释。我们此次研究的目的是，通过对匈牙利一个具有代表性的样本进行调查，为厘清宗教信仰对物质使用可能产生的影响方面的不确定性提供实证数据：1337名临床诊断的药物滥用患者和205名正常对照者。基于我们的研究结果，我们建议对宗教信仰对物质使用影响的一般研究方法做出一些改变。
