Title of project:
Examining the association between religiosity and substance use
Proposal summary:
Previous studies have found that greater religious belief is associated with lower risk of substance use, however these studies are limited in their samples and measures used. We wish to examine whether (non)religious belief is associated with substance use (smoking, drugs, alcohol) in adolescence, while controlling for a number of confounding variables.
Impact of research:
A better understanding of the role of religious belief in substance use.
