CoCHY is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Schools of Public Health (#S-3047-23/23)

CoCHY’s research will help us understand how religion can protect youth from harm. With professors and community members doing this research together, we also try to build trusting relationships. Click on one of the links below to learn more about the study.

Focus Group Analysis Feedback Sessions

Attention parents and pastors: Tell us what you think!

In-Depth Interviews

How do teens talk about the effect of religion on their sexual behavior and health in private face-to-face interviews?

Focus Groups with Parents and Pastors

Why do parents think religion can protect youth from harm? Why do some “religious” teens still get into trouble? How do pastors think about these issues?

Teen Survey

What are the different ways teens stay religiously involved? Are there certain types of involvement that really influence sexual behavior? Drug use? Feeling sad?
