*
Each odds ratio refers to a comparison between each category and reference level of the covariate (denoted by OR = 1) with respect to describing religious/spiritual activity as instrumental compared to recreational. An OR > 1 (< 1) corresponds to participants having higher (lower) odds describing religious/spiritual activity as instrumental compared to recreational when comparing a given category to the reference level. For continuous variable, OR indicated odds ratio with covariate increasing one unit. Model includes covariance terms (see Methods).
