相对于美国总人口，非裔美国女性患有慢性病和去教堂的比例更高。因此，过去十年来，人们加大力度设计基于教会的健康促进计划。本研究在一项基于教会的体育活动研究中比较了宗教信仰、宗教社会支持和一般社会支持随时间的变化。在一项整群随机对照试验中，招募了 31 个教会和每个教会约 15 名非裔美国女性参与。教会被随机分配到三个为期 10 个月的促进体育活动的计划之一：信仰综合计划 (FI)、非信仰综合计划 (NFI) 或自我指导控制计划 (C)。对基线和 10 个月时间点进行比较，以评估随时间变化的差异。所有群体的总体社会支持均显着减少。私人宗教活动和宗教情感支持的 C 和 FI 分别有所增加。先前的研究结果和当前的研究都强调，要证明宗教信仰、社会支持和健康方面发生强烈的、单方面的变化是困难的。需要进行更多的研究来确定这些概念的更准确的衡量标准。当前研究的结果对社会支持在未来基于教会的健康促进研究中的作用具有影响。
African-American women report higher levels of chronic conditions and church attendance relative to the overall US population. Therefore, efforts have increased over the past decade to design church-based health promotion programs. The present study compared changes in religiosity, religious social support and general social support across time within a church-based physical activity study. In a clustered randomized controlled trial, 31 churches and ∼15 African-American women per church were recruited to participate. Churches were randomized to one of three 10-month programs to promote physical activity: faith-integrated (FI), non-faith integrated (NFI) or self-guided control program (C). Comparisons were made between baseline and 10-month time points to assess differences over time. A significant reduction in general social support was observed across all groups. Private religious practices and religious emotional support received increases in C and FI, respectively. Prior research findings and the current study highlight difficulty in demonstrating strong, unilateral changes in religiosity, social support and health. Additional research is needed to identify more accurate measures of these concepts. Findings from the current study have implications for the role of social support in future church-based health promotion studies.
