Does Religion Cause Health
2015
Relationships between religion, spirituality, and health are drawing increasing attention from the scientific community, as reflected in growing numbers
of publications in major biomedical, public health, and social science journals over the past decade. In the United States, the National Institutes of Health
recently published a panel report on the topic as a special issue of American
Psychologist and requested funding applications for studies of spirituality
and alcohol abuse. Special issues of other scientific journals have also focused on the topic, and more than half of U.S. medical schools now offer
course material on religion, spirituality, and health. The American Psychological Association has published books about the implications of religious
perspectives for psychological science, including implications for physical
health and health psychology.
