Spirituality and Harmful or Hazardous Alcohol and Other Drug Use
JAMA Psychiatry
This meta-analysis of 55 rigorous studies on spirituality and harmful or hazardous drug use (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or illicit drugs) examined the association between spiritual exposures and related drug use outcomes. It documented a significant protective association of 13% related to both prevention and recovery. The risk reduction, which extended across all 4 drug categories, reached 18% for individuals with greater than weekly religious service attendance. These results have implications for clinicians and communities regarding future strategies to address harmful or hazardous alcohol or other drug use.
