| Summary: | Although many studies have examined religiosity as a protective factor for substance use, few have considered its relationship to treatment outcomes among Latinx adults. Using data from 89 individuals participating in a randomized clinical trial evaluating a culturally adapted Spanish-language version of web-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT-Spanish) for substance use, we evaluated the relationship between religiosity, as measured by the Religious Background and Behavior questionnaire, and treatment outcomes. Overall, there were few significant correlations between religiosity scores and treatment outcomes. Past-year religiosity was positively correlated with one measure of abstinence for those randomized to CBT4CBT-Spanish, but this did not persist during a six-month follow-up period. Findings suggest that religiosity may be associated with short-term abstinence outcomes among Latinx adults receiving a culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy treatment. However, additional research is needed with larger and more heterogenous Latinx populations. |
