Little is known about the relationship between religious coping, spirituality, and substance use in developing nations such as El Salvador. Collected in 2011, the sample consists of 290 high-risk and gang-involved adolescents (11-17 years) and young adults (18-25 years) in San Salvador, El Salvador. Structural equation modeling and logistic regression are employed to examine the associations between the Measure of Religious Coping (RCOPE), the Intrinsic Spirituality Scale, and substance use and abuse. Results suggest that spirituality and, to a far lesser degree, religious coping may serve to protect for substance use and abuse among this high-risk population of Salvadoran youth.
关于宗教应对、灵性与物质使用之间的关系，在萨尔瓦多等发展中国家知之甚少。本研究于 2011 年收集了萨尔瓦多圣萨尔瓦多的 290 名高危和帮派青年（11-17 岁）和年轻人（18-25 岁）。采用结构方程模型和逻辑回归来检验宗教应对量表（RCOPE）、内在灵性量表与物质使用和滥用之间的关联。结果表明，灵性，在较小程度上，宗教应对可能有助于保护这个高危萨尔瓦多青年群体免受物质使用和滥用的影响。
