Notes: Psychological distress is square-root transformed. All models are net of adjustments for age, gender, race, marital status, region, city size, and education. All continuous/ ordinal religion variables (i.e., attendance, prayer, and meditation) were zero-centered prior to the construction of interaction terms.
