“…Of those, 82 (79%) reported significant inverse relationships (five at a trend level), whereas three (3%) found positive relationships with more delinquency/crime. Of the 60 studies with quality ratings of 7 or higher, 49 (82%) reported inverse relationships [240–252] and only one study found a positive relationship [253]. Of particular interest are the 10 studies examining relationships between R/S and school grades/performance in adolescents and college students between 2000 and 2009, of which all 10 (100%) found that more R/S youth did better than less religious youth [254].…”

Religion, Spirituality, and Health: The Research and Clinical Implications

This paper provides a concise but comprehensive review of research on religion/spirituality (R/S) and both mental health and physical health. It is based on a systematic review of original data-based quantitative research published in peer-reviewed journals between 1872 and 2010, including a few seminal articles published since 2010. First, I provide a brief historical background to set the stage. Then I review research on R/S and mental health, examining relationships with both positive and negative mental health outcomes, where positive outcomes include well-being, happiness, hope, optimism, and gratefulness, and negative outcomes involve depression, suicide, anxiety, psychosis, substance abuse, delinquency/crime, marital instability, and personality traits (positive and negative). I then explain how and why R/S might influence mental health. Next, I review research on R/S and health behaviors such as physical activity, cigarette smoking, diet, and sexual practices, followed by a review of relationships between R/S and heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and dementia, immune functions, endocrine functions, cancer, overall mortality, physical disability, pain, and somatic symptoms. I then present a theoretical model explaining how R/S might influence physical health. Finally, I discuss what health professionals should do in light of these research findings and make recommendations in this regard.

“…Numerous studies have reported that substance use is significantly related to negative consequences such as poor health (e.g., respiratory and cardiovascular diseases), mental disorders, drug use disorders, suicidal ideation, social/economic disadvantage, poor academic achievement, unemployment, disrupted familial relationships, increased accidents/injury, increased mortality, greater risk of victimization, and increased criminal behavior (Berg et al, 2013; Dawson, Li, & Grant, 2008; S.

The current study aims to explore developmental pathways of substance use by gender. The influences of various predictors of gendered trajectories of substance use are also assessed. We draw on data from five waves (age 14-18 years old) of Korean Youth Panel Survey (KYPS). Semiparametric group-based models are estimated to identify heterogeneity in substance use for males and females. Multinomial logistic regression analyses are conducted to examine the association between substance use and predictors. Four alcohol use and tobacco use trajectory groups were identified for males and females. A notable difference between genders is that, unlike females, male substance use trajectories do not show a decreasing pattern. Regarding predictors of trajectory group membership, results indicate mixed findings between males and females.

“…Bourdieu perceives social capital as the investment of the dominant class in maintaining and reproducing group solidarity and preserving the group’s dominant position (Dika & Singh, 2002). Bourdieu claims that the cultural and social assets of social capital enable children to better utilize resources (Dika & Singh, 2002; Lundborg, 2005; Özbay, 2008; Schaefer-McDaniel, 2004; Unlu, 2011; Ünlü et al, 2014). Research on family types in Turkey is thus relevant to juvenile delinquency in terms of the family’s structural conditions.…”

This study examines several family structural variables that have a hypothesized effect on delinquency, substance abuse, and violence. We conducted a survey for potential correlates of Sampson and Laub’s age-graded informal social control theory variables within the Turkish context. Our large sample size (31,272), drawn from high school students in Istanbul, Turkey, allowed us to test the effects of family settings on youth deviance by using various statistical tests and programs. Our findings indicate that juveniles exposed to parental substance abuse are more likely to use illegal substances, commit a greater number of delinquent acts, and participate in more instances of violent behavior. Additionally, family social capital, residential mobility, religiosity, and the number of siblings were some other statistically significant correlates of delinquency.
