00:00:11.444 --> 00:00:25.556
Article focus: Background: Religious institutions are socially influential in Nigeria, but their public-security contribution should be measured as specific practices rather than presumed from visibility or doctrine.

00:00:25.556 --> 00:00:38.778
Research context: Objective: To estimate the relationship between five dimensions of Church engagement and perceived reduction of community insecurity (PRCI) across the Federal Capital Territory.

00:00:38.778 --> 00:00:49.333
Study approach: Methods: A stratified multistage household survey generated 586 response records from 642 field contacts in 24 clusters.

00:00:49.333 --> 00:00:56.778
Reported findings: The CECIQ measured TPEMF, MDPA, SEHPC, CSEW, IIC and PRCI.

00:00:56.778 --> 00:01:07.333
Interpretation: Weighted Spearman correlations and a survey-weighted, cluster-robust multiple regression with prespecified covariates and Holm correction were used.
