Child Trends analyzed data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Results of our analyses indicate that young adult relationships are fairly diverse; that these relationships have both positive and negative dimensions; and that partner and relationship characteristics and patterns of contraceptive use vary considerably by relationship type, gender, and race/ethnicity.
A new Child Trends brief finds that relationship quality between parents is consistently and positively associated with better outcomes for children and families. This brief, Parental Relationship Quality and Child Outcomes across Subgroups, notes that the positive association holds across many subgroup comparisons, including income, marital status, parental education, and race/ethnicity. These analyses were completed using data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health
The National Healthy Marriage Resource Center (NHMRC), http://www.healthymarriageinfo.org/, is a clearinghouse for high quality, balanced, and timely information and resources on healthy marriage. The NHMRC's mission is to be a first stop for information, resources, and training on healthy marriage for experts, researchers, policymakers, media, marriage educators, couples and individuals, program providers, and others.
We are now accepting proposals from prospective guest editors for special issues of the Journal of Family Theory & Review. Our intention is to provide opportunities to advance theory and develop integrative reviews in key areas of family studies.
