Separate from scholarship in religion and medicine, a burgeoning field in religion and population health, includes religion and reproductive health. In a survey of existing literature, we analyzed data by religious affiliation, discipline, geography and date. We found 377 peer-reviewed articles; most were categorized as family planning (129), sexual behavior (81), domestic violence (39), pregnancy (46), HIV/AIDS (71), and STDs (61). Most research occurred in North America (188 articles), Africa (52), and Europe (47). Article frequency increased over time, from 3 articles in 1980 to 38 articles in 2008. While field growth is evident, there is still no cohesive "scholarship" in religion and reproductive health.
除了宗教和医学领域的学术研究外,宗教和人口健康这一新兴领域也包括宗教与生殖健康。在对现有文献的调查中,我们根据宗教信仰、学科、地理位置和日期对数据进行了分析。我们发现了 377 篇同行评议文章;其中大部分属于计划生育(129 篇)、性行为(81 篇)、家庭暴力(39 篇)、怀孕(46 篇)、艾滋病毒/艾滋病(71 篇)和性传播疾病(61 篇)。大多数研究发生在北美洲(188 篇)、非洲(52 篇)和欧洲(47 篇)。随着时间的推移,文章的数量不断增加,从 1980 年的 3 篇增加到 2008 年的 38 篇。尽管该领域的发展显而易见,但宗教与生殖健康领域仍没有形成统一的“学术研究”。
