| Summary: | The subtitle of this volume delineates its scope: population-based research in the United States. This stream of research captures the leading position of the University of Texas research team and their colleagues in empirical investigations of religious involvement in the contemporary United States. Taken together, these articles all address two overarching questions: first, whether religious belief and/or involvement in religious activity correlates with variations in family circumstances, attitudes, and experiences and with mental and physical health outcomes; and second, whether any such correlations suggest that religious belief or activity actually have some independent causal effects on health and family life. |
