Abstract

The spiritual health of adolescents is recognized as being a topic of profound importance, yet little is known about the relationship between spiritual health and its broader impacts on the health of adolescents. This knowledge is necessary if we are to provide adequate spiritual health care to this population. In this article, we present the results of analyses involving a multi-dimensional scale for spiritual health that was adapted for use within adolescent populations.
