Adolescent substance abuse has been on the rise for the |
|
past few decades, constituting a major personal and |
|
social problem. According to researchers, the causes are |
|
many, including biological, temperamental, psychological, |
|
behavioral, and environmental factors. Yet, only a few |
|
intervention methods have proven effective. Numerous |
|
studies demonstrated that religious beliefs and practices |
|
exert a deterrent effect on substance abuse among teens. |
|
However, there is little information available that |
|
applies specifically to Jewish adolescents from an |
|
orthodox background. This pilot study was conducted with |
|
a group of substance abusing Jewish adolescent boys |
|
attending an alternative religious high school, to |
|
examine the influence of religiosity of substance abuse |
|
therapy outcome. The assumption was that the religious |
|
environment would influence the boys to better respond to |
|
therapy, adding another weapon in the war against teens |
|
substance abuse. Three appendixes contain a religiosity |
|
questionnaire, diagnostic schedule, and data table. |
