| Annotation | This study of a random telephone sample of 604 Detroit central city elders aged 60+ examined the relationships between certain biopsychosocial factors, private religious practices and organisational religiousness with everyday spirituality in a needs assessment. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that being African-American, female, having better mental health, reading the Bible, watching and listening to religious programmes, and frequently attending religious services were significantly and positively associated with higher scores on everyday spirituality. Age, education and physical health were not significantly associated. Findings indicate that religious and spiritual expressions are important to inner city elders, and that there are distinct differences between concepts. (KJ/RH). |
