在本研究中，我们前瞻性地研究了青少年宗教参与（包括宗教服务参与和祈祷或冥想）与心理健康，心理健康，健康行为，身体健康和性格力量结果的广泛关联。使用广义估计方程分析了“今日成长研究”的纵向数据。样本量范围为5，681至7，458，取决于结果;平均基线年龄为14.74岁，随访时间为8-14年（1999年至2007年，2010年或2013年）。Bonferroni校正用于校正多重检验。所有的模型都控制了社会人口学特征，产妇健康，和以前的值的结果变量，只要数据可用。与不参加宗教活动相比，每周至少参加一次宗教活动与更高的生活满意度和积极的影响，一些性格优势，大麻使用和早期性行为的可能性较低，以及终身性伴侣较少有关。对祈祷或冥想的分析得出了类似的结果。虽然有关宗教的决定主要不是由健康决定的，但鼓励已经有宗教信仰的青少年参加礼拜和私人活动可能是有意义的发展和支持途径，可能会改善健康和福祉。
In the present study, we prospectively examined the associations of religious involvement in adolescence (including religious service attendance and prayer or meditation) with a wide array of psychological well-being, mental health, health behavior, physical health, and character strength outcomes in young adulthood. Longitudinal data from the Growing Up Today Study were analyzed using generalized estimating equations. Sample sizes ranged from 5,681 to 7,458, depending on outcome; the mean baseline age was 14.74 years, and there were 8–14 years of follow-up (1999 to either 2007, 2010, or 2013). Bonferroni correction was used to correct for multiple testing. All models were controlled for sociodemographic characteristics, maternal health, and prior values of the outcome variables whenever data were available. Compared with no attendance, at least weekly attendance of religious services was associated with greater life satisfaction and positive affect, a number of character strengths, lower probabilities of marijuana use and early sexual initiation, and fewer lifetime sexual partners. Analyses of prayer or meditation yielded similar results. Although decisions about religion are not shaped principally by health, encouraging service attendance and private practices in adolescents who already hold religious beliefs may be meaningful avenues of development and support, possibly leading to better health and well-being.
