Students' Emotional Health Linked to Religious Involvement

Health, religious activity linked
College students with significant religious involvement report better emotional health than those with no involvement, new research from UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute shows.
The results, drawn from a national study of 3,680 college students, indicate that students who are not churchgoers are more than twice as likely to say they have felt depressed or had poorer emotional health than students who frequently attend religious services.
The findings show that religious activity has positive links to emotional health. Those who often attend religious services are far less likely to frequently feel overwhelmed during college.
The analysis is part of a national study of third-year college students at 46 colleges and universities.
