Results of Unadjusted and Adjusted Logistic Regression Analysis Using Race to Predict Religious Beliefs

		Unadjusted					Adjusted^a

		Wald Score	Odds Ratio	95% CI		p	Wald Score	Odds Ratio	95% CI		p
Religious Beliefs	No Beliefs
Against Smoking	Some Beliefs	.464	.92	.72	1.17	.496	.028	1.02	.78	1.34	.868
	Strong Beliefs	1.689	1.23	.88	1.92	.194	.430	1.15	.75	1.77	.512
	Very Strong Beliefs	28.4	2.57	1.82	3.64	<.001	13.829	2.05	1.41	3.00	<.001

Note. N = 4,225. Race was coded so that Black = 1 and White = 0. Religious belief was coded using no beliefs as the referent (0). Each level of belief (some, strong, very strong) was coded 1 in order to compare it with no beliefs (0) in 3 separate analyses.

Analysis was adjusted for sex (male = 0), age, household education (at least some college = 0), household income (≥$30,000 = 0), and smoking status (current smoker = 0).
