Childhood religious service attendance (C-RA) was assessed (in Wave 4 only) by asking, “How often did you attend religious services between the ages of 6 and 13?” Participants endorsed 1 of 6 possible responses, “more than once a week,” “once a week,” “a few times a month,” “once or twice a month,” “less than once a month,” or “never.” Religious service in adulthood (A-RA) was assessed (in Wave 4 only) by asking, “In the past 12 months, how often did you attend religious services?” using the same list of possible responses. A-RA and C-RA were modeled as weekly or more and greater than weekly religious service attendance, respectively. The different cut-offs reflected differences in the distribution of RA during childhood and adulthood.
