“…In the current study, we sought to determine the amount of variance of GSE explained by PRC and NRC among adults in outpatient substance abuse treatment. Religious elements have long been recognized as protective factors against substance abuse (Desmond, Ulmer, & Bader, ; Fletcher & Kumar, ; Mason, Schmidt, & Mennis, ; Stoltzfus & Farkas, ), yet they also may relate to self‐efficacy. Indeed, our findings indicated that, after accounting for interrelationships among the predictor variables, the regression model (containing both PRC and NRC) significantly predicted GSE.…”

“…that logs the dependent variable (column 2); specifications that include parish-or ZIP code-specific linear trends (3) and (4) 25 and specifications in which outcome variables have not had missing values and outliers imputed (column 5). 26 The first row of Table 5 shows that the relationship between potential voucher spending and actual voucher spending is quite robust.…”

“…Recent decades have seen a large rise in the fraction of Americans reporting no religious affiliation, and even giving to religious causes (traditionally largest area of charitable giving by far) has begun to fall while giving overall continues to grow (Hout and Fischer, 2002;Velasco, 2015;Campbell and Putnam, 2012;Voas and Chaves, 2016). This shift is noteworthy as studies have shown that religiosity is strongly related to a variety of economically and socially relevant outcomes (Fruehwirth, Iyer, and Zhang, 2016;Hungerman, 2014;Fletcher and Kumar, 2014; see Iyer, 2016 for a review), and that congregations provide a variety of public goods, often jointly with the government. 2 In this time of declining religion, our work suggests that such joint provision represents not only a source of competition between church and state but also a potentially crucial source of subsidization.…”

Governments have used vouchers to spend billions of dollars on private education; much of this has gone to religiously affiliated schools. We explore the possibility that vouchers could alter the financial outcomes of religious organizations that are operating schools and thus have an impact on the spiritual, moral, and social fabric of communities. Using a data set of Catholic parish finances from Milwaukee, we show that vouchers are a dominant source of funding for many churches. Vouchers appear to offer financial stability for congregations as voucher expansion prevents church closures and mergers. However, voucher expansion causes significant declines in church donations and church revenue from noneducational sources.

“…In addition to pro moting health behaviors, risky health behaviors are discouraged by religious involvement. For instance, adolescents' religiosity is significantly related to less smoking, drinking, future licit and illicit drug dependence and abuse, risky sexual activities, and even suicidal ideation (Fletcher & Kumar, 2014;Sinha, Cnaan, & Gelles, 2007).…”
