However, few studies have explored the intersection between sexuality and religion among adolescents and emerging adults ( Sherkat, 2002). Prior studies of religiosity, which have focused primarily on heterosexual adolescents, found positive associations between higher religiosity and familial support ( Ellison, Boardman, Williams, & Jackson, 2001 Regnerus & Elder, 2003), improved mental health ( Eliassen, Taylor, & Lloyd, 2005 Ellison et al., 2001 Nonnemaker et al., 2003), lower drug use ( Nonnemaker et al., 2003 Steinman & Zimmerman, 2004) and safer sex ( Hardy & Raffaelli, 2003 Nonnemaker et al., 2003 Steinman & Zimmerman, 2004). There has been a growing body of research focused on the relationship between religiosity and adolescent health and well-being ( Nonnemaker, McNeely, & Blum, 2003 Werner & Smith, 1992).
