The influence of religiosity on behavioral health outcomes among adolescents living in disaster-prone areas has been understudied. This study utilized data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2005-2010) to examine the relationship between religion, depression, marijuana use, and binge drinking. The sample included 12,500 adolescents residing in the Gulf Coast region of the USA. Results show that religious salience was directly related to depression, marijuana, and binge drinking. It was also indirectly related to both substance use outcomes through depression. Religious service attendance was unrelated to any of the outcomes. Implications of the findings are discussed.
宗教信仰对生活在易受灾地区青少年行为健康结果的影响一直未得到充分研究。本研究利用全国药物使用和健康调查（2005 - 2010年）的数据，来检验宗教、抑郁、大麻使用和暴饮之间的关系。样本包括居住在美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区的12500名青少年。结果表明，宗教显著性与抑郁、大麻使用和暴饮直接相关。它还通过抑郁与两种物质使用结果间接相关。参加宗教仪式与任何结果均无关联。文中讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
