LONDON, Oct. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On the eve World Mental Health Day, Radiant Foundation's Faith & Media Initiative partnered with Gallup to launch Faith and Wellness: The Worldwide Connection Between Spirituality & Wellbeing report (linked here), a meta-analysis of academic and Gallup global data that uncovers ways in which spirituality can help address the global mental health crisis. An analysis of World Poll data over ten years, over 140 countries, and approximately 1.47 million people interviewed, shows a strong association between religiosity and wellbeing. Gallup indexes that measure positive emotions, social life, optimism, and community engagement show a positive relationship between religiosity – defined by the importance of religion in one's daily life – and wellbeing outcomes.

Key Points: 
  • This more expansive measure will help us truly understand how factors of faith and spirituality can strengthen mental health.
  • An analysis of 2012-2022 Gallup World Poll data shows that spirituality and various wellbeing outcomes differ broadly at the global level.
  • The report also poses the question of how workplaces might incorporate elements of spirituality into employee wellbeing programs, given the U.S.
  • "Faith and spirituality need to be an integral part of any organization's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts."
