“…Our findings demonstrate that there is a high degree of religious faith among urban women, especially African-American and older women (≥ 50 years old), who use methamphetamine. We found that the SCSORFQ maintains its high internal reliability among this population, and that although the mean score was higher than those reported in studies with non-drug using populations (Plante & Boccaccini, 1997a, 1997b; Plante et al, 2001; Plante, Vallaeys, Sherman, & Wallston, 2002; Plante et al, 1999), it was slightly lower than some found in studies of those in recovery from drugs or alcohol (Pardini, 2000; Plante et al, 1999). Our finding highlights that among this sample, strength of religious faith is not incompatible with substance use.…”

“…The questionnaire is inversely associated with anxiety and depression, and inversely correlated with God control (Plante, Saucedo, & Rice, 2001; Plante, Yancey, Sherman, Guertin, & Pardini, 1999). Using the Belief in Personal Control Scale (BPCS; Berrenberg, 1987), Plante and Boccaccini (1997b) found that those with a high score of religious faith also scored lower on the God-mediated control dimension of the BPCS.…”

Religiosity is not found to be consistently protective in mental health and substance use outcomes among illicit drug users. This study examines the association between religiosity, mental health and drug use among a community-recruited sample of women who use methamphetamine. The majority of the sample (74%) had high scores of religious faith. In multivariate analysis, those with high scores had higher odds of self-reporting a mental health diagnosis and of being psychologically dependent upon methamphetamine, and were less likely to report injection risk. Further examination of the role of religiosity in the lives of women who use methamphetamine is advised.

“…The SCSRFQ also correlates positively with a variety of R/S variables, including private and public religious behaviors, intrinsic religiousness, and positive religious coping, supporting the construct validity of SCSRFQ scores in particular samples (Freiheit et al, 2006; Plante, Yancey, Sherman, Guertin, & Pardini, 1999; Sherman et al, 1999; Sherman et al, 2001). The evidence for negative relations with anxiety and depression is mixed (Plante & Boccaccini, 1997a; Plante & Canchola, 2004; Plante, Saucedo, & Rice, 2001; Plante, Yancey, Sherman & Guertin, 2000; Plante et al, 1999; Sherman et al, 1999; Sherman, Simonton, Latif, Spohn, & Tricot, 2005). There is also mixed evidence on the relations between the SCSRFQ and demographic variables.…”

Objectives To assist researchers and clinicians considering using the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (SCSRFQ) with older-adult samples, the current study analyzed the psychometrics of SCSRFQ scores in two older-adult samples. Method Adults age 55 or older who had formerly participated in studies of cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety and/or depression were recruited to complete questionnaires. In Study 1 (N = 66), the authors assessed the relations between the SCSRFQ and other measures of religiousness/spirituality, mental health, and demographic variables, using bivariate correlations and nonparametric tests. In Study 2 (N = 223), the authors also conducted confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses of the SCSRFQ, as well as an Item Response Theory analysis. Results The SCSRFQ was moderately to highly positively correlated with all measures of religiousness/spirituality. Relations with mental health were weak and differed across samples. Ethnic minorities scored higher than White participants on the SCSRFQ, but only in Study 2. Factor analyses showed that a single-factor model fit the SCSRFQ best. According to Item Response Theory analysis, SCSRFQ items discriminated well between participants with low-to-moderate levels of the construct but provided little information at higher levels. Conclusion Although the SCSRFQ scores had adequate psychometric characteristics, the measure’s usefulness may be limited in samples of older adults.
