Public Significance Statement
This meta-analysis of 279 effect sizes from 73 studies suggests that religiousness/spirituality has a small but positive relationship with health among sexual minorities. Moderator analyses suggest that the strength of the relationship between religiousness/spirituality and health depends on the sexual minority individual’s degree of sexual identity integration, that individual’s specific R/S beliefs and practices, and the supportiveness of the individual’s environment.
