AB  - This study examined the association among peer substance use, religiosity 
  and substance abuse. The respondents of the study were 352 adolescents aged 
  13-18 years from Somolu, Lagos, Nigeria. The participants completed three validated 
  instruments measuring, peer substance use, religiosity and substance abuse. 
  The result indicated a partial mediation effect of religiosity in the relationship 
  between peer substance use and substance abuse. Recommendations of the study 
  highlighted the ameliorative capabilities of religiosity and its importance 
  in the upbringing of a child.
