Religion is often neglected by mainstream psychology, despite approximately 90% of the world's population participating in some form of religious or spiritual practice. South-east London is home to a multicultural population, with enduring health inequalities. Religious coping and religious advisors are important in supporting mental health needs of faith communities, particularly in Black Majority Churches (BMCs). Less is known about how religious coping functions in the face of adversity over the life course among UK ethnic minority and migrant groups, despite a notable rise in BMCs in London. The study aims to:(1) critically review the scientific and policy literature on the role of religion in relation to mental health and mental health service use;(2 explore how structural and cultural membership within two BMCs in south-east London interplay with religious coping, mental health and help-seeking among clergy and congregants; and(3) examine the association between religiosity and religious coping with mental health and health service use outcomes, using prospective data from the South East London Community Health study (SELCoH).The study will use mixed-methods to address the aims, beginning with forming an advisory group of members from BMCs, as part of a Community Based Participatory Research approach. Qualitative methodology will address the second aim: (i) ethnography; followed by purposively sampling clergy and congregational members from BMCs to participate in (ii) interviews; and (iii) focus groups using a PhotoVoice methodology framework. The study will concurrently address the third aim using secondary data analysis of longitudinal data from the SELCoH study.

宗教经常被主流心理学所忽视，尽管世界上大约90%的人口参与某种形式的宗教或精神实践。伦敦东南部是多元文化人口的家园，存在着持久的健康不平等。宗教应对和宗教顾问在支持信仰社区的心理健康需求方面非常重要，特别是在黑人多数教会（BMC）。尽管伦敦的BMC显著增加，但人们对英国少数民族和移民群体在生命历程中面对逆境时宗教应对功能知之甚少。本研究旨在：（1）批判性地回顾宗教在精神健康和精神健康服务使用方面的作用的科学和政策文献;（2）探讨伦敦东南部两个英国教会的结构和文化成员身份与神职人员和会众的宗教应对、心理健康和求助之间的相互作用;以及（3）检查宗教虔诚度和宗教应对与心理健康和卫生服务使用结果之间的关联，使用来自南东伦敦社区健康研究（SELCoH）的前瞻性数据。该研究将使用混合方法来实现目标，首先组建一个由BMC成员组成的咨询小组，作为基于社区的前瞻性研究方法的一部分。定性方法将解决第二个目标：（一）人种学;其次是有目的地抽样神职人员和教会成员从BMC参加（二）访谈;和（三）焦点小组使用PhotoVoice方法框架。本研究将使用SELCoH研究纵向数据的次要数据分析同时解决第三个目标。
