This study examines the effects of attending religious revival services on the educational and behavioral outcomes of urban students. Specifically, the influence of attending the most recognized revival of the past decade is analyzed. Urban student attendees from throughout the United States attend, are surveyed, and then are randomly selected to be included in the analysis. Two other groups of randomly selected urban students serve as control groups; one control group consisting of students intending to attend the revival services and the other group not. The results indicate that those students attending the revival services showa greater rate of improvement in school behavior, such as reduced alcohol and drug consumption, and report larger increases in the quality of family life and the quality of life as a whole than their counterparts in the general control group do but that they show no tendency to outpace their counterparts in improved grades.
