Title of project: 
The role of parental religiosity in offspring mental health
Proposal summary: 

There is limited evidence for the role of parental religious beliefs in offspring mental health, with the existing literature predominantly concerned with American samples, and a limited number of mental health outcomes. This project seeks to examine the role of parental religious beliefs, and how they may predict offspring mental health in childhood and adolescence. This will be done using a broad range of mental health measures, and possible confounding, mediating, or moderating variables.

Impact of research: 
This research will provide an insight into the role of parental religious beliefs in their children's mental health over time.
