- Abstract
A review of empirical articles published in six major social work journals from 1995 to 2000 found that 72 of 552 (13.0%) quantitative studies measured at least one religious or spiritual variable. This number is roughly 5 to 10 times greater than the number found in similar reviews of psychology, psychiatry, and medicine, suggesting that social work scholars have given more attention to the role of religion and spirituality in social intervention. Social work's interest in the role of religion and spirituality is critical as policy makers and the public look to religion to be increasingly involved in addressing social issues.
