Centrality of religion and health behaviours among medicine and clerical students

Abstract

Pro-health attitudes depend on many factors, such as sex, age, education, income or education. Numerous researches show that an important source of pro-health behaviours is religiousness as a major factor motivating to take different actions. This research tries to answer the question: what is the role of religiousness in forming pro-health behaviours? To achieve this goal 143 students of medicine and 100 clerical students (theology students preparing to priesthood) have been examined. All of them were 3rd year students.
