Black Men's Perceptions of Divorce-Related Stressors and Strategies for Coping With Divorce: An Exploratory Study
The divorce rate among Blacks in the United States has increased significantly in recent years. Consequently, an increasing number of Black men confront problems associated with adjusting to divorce.

The results show that Black …

While previous research has conceptualised gestational diabetes as producing few consequences since it commonly disappears after delivery, this study explore…
