The State of Religion & Young People 2022: Mental Health — Resources
The resources referenced in numbered marginal notes in The State of Religion & Young People 2022 can be found at the bottom of this page.
In the Key Findings section we presented data that is intended to offer faith leaders a sense of the big picture—larger trends that shed light on the religious and spiritual lives of young people at a time when so many report struggling with their mental health. Directly below are additional breakdowns of some of the findings reported in that section.

Key Findings — Additional Data by Age, Present Religion, Race & Gender
Disclaimer: The following dashboards were designed to enable audiences of The State of Religion & Young People 2022 to explore more nuanced and detailed data cross-sections. While each of these data visualizations encompass the entire sample of the publication, the total N for many of the breakdowns are considerably smaller. Each additional filter that is selected reduces the number of people represented even further. For this reason, the data in these graphs are informational only––designed to be used for conversation, consideration, and future research. Put differently, these percentages are directional, not conclusive. Data from these visualizations should not be cited, published, or quoted.
