将宗教信仰作为行为改变研究的一个因素来考虑，需要对宗教行为进行可靠的衡量。鉴于宗教信仰与物质使用之间的消极联系以及在物质使用障碍的恢复过程中经常报告的宗教信仰和灵性的作用，这种措施可能特别有助于药物滥用的研究。在这方面，本文描述了宗教背景和行为（RBB）问卷的发展和评估，作为对宗教实践的简要衡量。结果表明，RBB由上帝意识和形式实践两个因素组成，具有良好的重测信度和良好的内部一致性。结果表明，RBB可以作为评估宗教行为的可靠工具。
Consideration of religiosity as a factor in behavior change research requires a reliable measure of religious behavior. Such a measure may be particularly helpful in research on substance misuse given the negative association between religiosity and substance use and the role of religiosity and spirituality often reported in the process of recovery from substance use disorders. In this regard, this article describes the development and evaluation of the Religious Background and Behavior (RBB) questionnaire as a brief measure of religious practices. The results suggest the RBB is made up of two factors, labeled God Consciousness and Formal Practices, and that the RBB possesses excellent test-retest reliability and satisfactory internal consistency. It is concluded that the RBB can serve as a reliable instrument for assessing religious behaviors.
