Religion, Aging, and Health Survey, 2001, 2004 [United States]

This data collection looks at religion, self-rated health,
depression, and psychological well-being in a sample of older Blacks
and older Whites (aged 65 and over) within the United States.
Questions were asked regarding religious status, activities, and
beliefs among those who currently practice the Christian faith, those
who used to be Christian but are not now, and those who have never
been associated with any religion during their lifetimes. Demographic
variables include age, race, sex, education, and income. Wave II was
collected in 2004 and reinterviewed 1,024 respondents. There were 75
respondents who refused to participate, 112 who could not be located,
70 that were too ill for participation, 11 who had moved to nursing
homes and 208 were deceased.
