I don't know of any studies that looked at synagogue or mosque specifically. I'd guess this has been reproduced in other countries. It might be a great follow up article!David Carreonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816955307668560061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-3605273497986172011-01-22T16:52:43.722-08:002011-01-22T16:52:43.722-08:00Do these studies refer only to church-goers in Ame...Do these studies refer only to church-goers in America? If so, do you know of similar studies conducted internationally?<br /><br />Also, what about synagogue or mosque attendees?<br /><br />Great work, and thanks!medtalkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930265097439887263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-45324085120658831182010-12-03T10:49:52.469-08:002010-12-03T10:49:52.469-08:00Good question!

My account of 'subtraction' here is a great (and probably unjust) oversimplification of what the authors actually did: controlling for the slope contribution of each of many variables (using several models) on the effect in question. Nevertheless, I think that the way to conceptualized this is by some concept of 'subtraction' of the effect.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me clarify that!David Carreonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816955307668560061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-14211259364206156032010-12-03T01:12:28.971-08:002010-12-03T01:12:28.971-08:00Do you mean that the researchers literally subtrac...Do you mean that the researchers literally subtracted the odds ratios for those things from the odds ratio for church-going or did they control for them in a linear regression model?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387365528099487814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182862650840932810.post-20021570332955691642010-12-01T12:06:43.066-08:002010-12-01T12:06:43.066-08:00Thanks for the comment!
