An Outcome-Wide study of the Associations of Secular Community Participation with Subsequent Well-Being and Other Outcomes in Wave 2 of the Global Flourishing Study

Leveraging two waves of data from a diverse and international sample of over 200,000 (202,898+5,062 from China) individuals across 22 countries and one territory, this longitudinal study will evaluate secular community participation from Wave 1 as a potential antecedent of well-being and related outcomes assessed in Wave 2. We hypothesize that secular community participation will have meaningful and varied associations with subsequent well-being outcomes assessed approximately one year later. Additionally, we anticipate the pattern of these associations will differ by country, reflecting diverse societal influences. Using multivariate regression and E-values to evaluate robustness to potential unmeasured confounding, this study aims to provide insight into the potential role of secular community participation in contributing to various aspects of well-being and provide additional evidence for developing approaches to promote well-being in different national contexts.
