A systemic review of 766 studies of organic or intentional religious programming is proffered. Sections of this report are: executive summary; introduction; research examining the relationship between religion and well-being outcomes (intentional); assessing the efficacy of faith-based initiatives; study design; results; conclusions; and implications. While some support can be found for faith-based interventions of an organic nature (i.e., hypertension, mortality, depression, suicide, promiscuity, substance abuse, and delinquency), research regarding intentional religion and well-being, meaning in life, self-esteem, and educational attainment is lacking, especially in regards to faith-based prison programs.
