Impact of September 11, 2001 Events on Substance Abuse and Mental Health in the New York Area

4. Religious Beliefs

The NHSDA includes several questions about the importance of religion in the life of the respondent. Assuming religion might become more important to individuals during times of stress, the responses to a question asking whether religion is "very important" in the respondent's life were compared for the period prior to September 11 and after the terrorist attacks.

Contrary to expectations, the percentage of the population reporting that religion was "very important" in their life did not differ between the first three quarters of 2001 and the fourth quarter for persons aged 12 or older living in NYC, the NY CMSA, or the C-CMSA.
