“…Youth who are less involved in religious activities may be more at risk. Substance users, for example, have been found to have lower church attendance and less participation in religious activities (Oetting et al, 1998). Religiosity may also be associated with resilience, the ability to recover from adverse life events, such as substance addiction.…”

Among a predominately Mexican and Mexican American sample of preadolescents, religiosity protected against lifetime alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use and recent alcohol and cigarette use when religious affiliation was controlled. When religiosity was controlled, however, adolescents with no religious affiliation and adolescents who were religiously affiliated reported similar substance use outcomes. Interaction effects demonstrated that the protective effect of greater religiosity operated more strongly in some religions than in others for selected outcomes. Overall, the impact of religiosity on reported drug use did not differ significantly for more and less acculturated Latino youth. Keywords adolescents; drug use; religiosity; Mexican American; acculturation Adolescence is a life period marked by significant personal and social changes that are associated with unacceptably high substance use rates (Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 1998a, 1998b. Initiation into substance use at this age is of special concern given that early drug use places an individual at greater risk for later use (M. A. Miller, Alberts, Hecht, Trost, & Krizek, 2000). Yet adolescence is also a period of attachment transitions and religious changes (Granquist, 2002). Compared with adults, adolescents are more likely to be searching for purpose and identity (L. Miller, Davies, & Greenwald, 2000). In this search, religion may be a source for information or answers, providing guidelines for behavior and opportunities for prosocial interaction.Religion has been identified as having a protective effect against substance use, including for youth (Wallace & Bachman, 1991). Yet further research is needed to understand how religion affects adolescents as they experience multiple developmental and social changes. Although religiosity and religious affiliation have each been associated with youth substance use outcomes, still relatively little is known about the relationship between these two NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript phenomena and about how this relationship may influence adolescent substance use. Furthermore, little is known about how the influences of religion and acculturation combine in the life of Latino adolescents in the Southwest, many of whom come from immigrant families. This article focuses on the protective effects of religion, exploring the influence of religiosity within certain religious affiliations and across levels of acculturation, using a predominately Mexican and Mexican American sample of adolescents. The two hypotheses of the study are that religiosity and religious affiliation will have a protective effect on the drug use behaviors and norms of preadolescents in the Southwest and that acculturation will mediate the effect of religion. Literature Review ReligiosityReligiosity is a multidimensional construct referring to a person's behavioral and attitudinal religious fervor, regardless of the content of his or her beliefs (Amey, Albrecht, & Miller, 1996).

“…Youth who are involved in religious activities tend to form peer groups with youth who are involved in similar activities, and they are less likely to form friendships with deviant peers (Mason & Windle, 2001;Oetting et al, 1998). Youth who are less involved in religious activities may be more at risk.…”

“…Crime, poverty, and residential instability decrease residents' ability to know each other and, subsequently, reduce the neighborhood's "informal social control"-such as neighborhood adults disciplining children who are not their own (Pattillo, 1998). Social control of youth is also diminished when children come from non-intact families (Thornton, 1991), which may increase adolescents' risk (Coulton and Pandey, 1992;Oetting, Donnermeyer, and Deffenbacher, 1998;Sampson, 2001). Adults' fear of victimization or retaliation for disciplining youth may also decrease social control in high crime neighborhoods (Rountree and Land, 1996;Sampson and Raudenbush, 1999).…”

This study examines how neighborhood characteristics affect program efficacy. Data come from a randomized trial of a substance use prevention program called keepin' it REAL, which was administered to a predominantly Mexican American sample of 4,622 middle school students in Phoenix, Arizona, beginning in 1998. Multilevel models and multiple imputation techniques address clustered data and attrition. Among less linguistically acculturated Latinos, living in poorer neighborhoods and those with many single-mother families decreased program effectiveness in combating alcohol use. High neighborhood immigrant composition increased program effectiveness. Unexpectedly, the program was also more effective in neighborhoods with higher rates of crime. There were no significant effects on program efficacy for the more linguistically acculturated Latinos and non-Hispanic White students. Findings are discussed in light of theories of neighborhood social disorganization, immigrant adaptation, and social isolation.

“…This type of social cohesiveness that exists within the community strengthens common values (Larson & Dearmont, 2002). Common values are strengthened when there is low population density as this enhances homogeneity among residents (Oetting et al 1998). This is the type of homogeneity that Durkheim believes is present in a mechanical society.…”

To my family who were always there to support me emotionally, spiritually, and financially. There were times when I did not call or you never got to see me because of the excuse of work, yet you guys never gave up on me and were always there to welcome me with open arms. Thanks all of you. I could never let any of you down and that motivated me to finish this task, so this is dedicated to all of you.To my dear friends and new found family Jean Perriott, Wilma Wright, Kevin Kester, and Sid Benyoucef. The four of you supported and encouraged me all along.Jean, thanks for the Saturday and Sunday outings to relax my mind. Kevin and Sid, those IV late nights when I needed an escape were very important to me. Thanks for being there Buds.To my friend Donna Statler for all those e-mails and phone calls to encourage me and see how I was doing, thanks a million. To my friend Leonardo Pott for his e-mails from afar sending encouraging words, thanks for always being a friend.To Shelbourn Souazo for his assistance in piloting the instrument and making it appropriate to administer, thanks to you. To the villagers of the community where this study was conducted, thanks for making yourself available and providing me with information. To the staff of the Career Development Center at the University of Louisville, thanks for your daily words of encouragement. It made a world of difference.To God Almighty who gave me the strength, wisdom, and endurance to see this to the end, thank you heavenly Father for your blessings. And to all those people who helped me in some way through a kind action or word, thank you very much. This dissertation is an exploratory study of the indicators of receptivity that communities portray towards international service-learning programs. Historically, programs such as service learning programs choose communities and other working partners based on the needs of these communities. International service-learning on the other hand because of the high cost of travel to another country and accommodation needs to minimize the risk of having unsupportive partners. In this light, communities should be assessed to ensure that they are receptive to international service-learning programs.The study was conducted in a community that displayed a high level of receptivity to the University of Louisville International Service Learning Program. It focused on five areas of community receptivity namely: having a shared mission with the University, community involvement, community attachment, community cohesion, and social capital. A qualitative methodology of in-depth interviews was conducted with community leaders.Results were generally consistent across all five areas studied. The interviews revealed that the community had a shared mission with the University of Louisville to VI have a successful program, the residents were very involved in the affairs of the community and they were very much attached to it. Results also indicated that community cohesion is important to the community and they displayed a high level of ...
