Lay summary

This project aims to describe the ALSPAC data on religious and spiritual beliefs, as well as identify any potential sources of bias, particularly regarding confounders of religiosity. There are studies that have described the religious/spiritual beliefs and behaviours (RSBB) data collected by ALSPAC, however, to date no study has described this data in detail by exploring various associations between RSBB and other relevant factors (such as socioeconomic background or psychological traits). We will explore and describe associations with RSBB to inform future analyses, especially regarding the choice of potential confounders.

Public benefit statement

To understand in greater detail ALSPAC RSBB data and what factors may influence religiosity. To inform subsequent research using the same RSBB data.
