Lay summary

This project aims to describe the ALSPAC data on religious and spiritual beliefs, as well as identify any potential sources of bias. One of these associations that is of particular interest is whether RSBB has an affect on participation in the study. This is because studies like ALSPAC rely entirely on continued participation for the study to work, meaning if there are unknown factors behind participant's likelihood of continuing with the study this may result in bias when using these variables in analyses.

Public benefit statement

To understand in greater detail how religion may impact study participation and to inform subsequent research using the same RSBB data.
