HMMMmmm…
What a bizarre thing to study.
This is obviously a hit piece, and humorous considering it is probably written by those who see no harm in pornography and actually consider viewing it as healthy - the perverted left.

Take home message: raise children with conservative Protestant values...
What a bizarre subject for study!
I’m not surprised as libtards ironically are becoming the new sexless puritans doing what the old puritans could never accomplish as the girls learn men are all icky rapists and they should becoming virgin spinster sjw womyn’s studies professors and the birth rate is plummeting.
It is kind of interesting how the left mixes authoritarianism with a kind of libertinism. And yet sometimes there is a sort of puritanism. I figure the left rewards libertinism to groups and individuals it considers Alpha and it has all kinds of restrictions on those it considers inferior. Thus, there are no rules for gay males but a heterosexual man must practically fill out a form before he can so much as hold hands with his girlfriend. But if things go far then the girlfriend practically must have an abortion and this “choice” will be celebrated. Thus also, MeToo usually means everything but the left’s Alpha male, Bill Clinton, is not held up to the MeToo standard. His misconduct is virtually celebrated and his female victims are condemned and insulted.
Meaning that somehow conservative Protestants are to be blamed for non-Protestant youth watching porn which is produced by liberals and atheists.
Just what the researchers use to determine what is "evangelical" is not said. Also, most likely does not take into account the fact that other negative societal aspects also typically are higher in evangelical areas, from low-income to higher crime, but are not caused by evangelicalism, as instead that is the culture in which people see there spiritual need more than affluent suburbs. Likewise a study of the 1st century church could find that slavery predominated more among Christians since slaves were more open to the gospel, rather than Christianity fostering slavery.
I suspect that the findings of the study were determined by its intent:
“My speculation is that it might be due to the pressure from conservative Protestant culture which forbids or even shames overt sexual expression. Under such a religious cultural context, youth may have no other option but to seek out sexual opportunities, including porn viewing, covertly.”
Likely the researcher advocates "safe-sex" fornication, abortion, sodomy, etc. in action.
Of course, growing up in a religious family leads to porn viewership....yes.....if course.....really? Okie dokie....
I’m skeptical of any poll any longer and take them worth a grain of salt. Like someone posted, this is an odd thing to study. People have too many agendas to make polls meaningful.
