A Critical Analysis of Criticisms of the Oregon Death With Dignity Act
This article critically examines the validity of common criticisms of the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, primarily through reviewing published research and analyses. After summarizing the law and recent developments, 11 areas of concerns are examined: (a) the amount of data collected, (b) the availability of the data, (c) the reporting process, (d) protection of physicians, (e) terminal illness as a requirement, (f) the amount of data on palliati…
Physician-Assisted Suicide in Oregon
Oregon's Death with Dignity Act has been operative since late 1997. The substantial national and international interest in Oregon's law makes it important to document any possible trends in the characteristics of persons who use the law. To do this, the present article examines previously reported data from various sources and places them within the context of the end-of-life decisions more generally. The Oregon data demonstrate that, regardless …
The Timing of Remarriage Among Women Who Have a Failed Marital Reconciliation in the First Marriage
Using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households data, this study examined the relationship between having a failed marital reconciliation in the first marriage and remarrying. Unsuccessful marital reconciliations are not uncommon since about one-third of the divorced women become divorced after attempting at least one marital reconciliation. The results suggest that attempting several reconciliations in the first marriage is associated w…
Living Arrangements After Divorce
This study, using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households data, has examined the characteristics of married and cohabiting couple households in which one or both of the partners were previously married. Remarried couple households are quite common as 27 percent of households maintained by married couples included at least one partner who had been previously married. Approximately one-half of both previously married cohabiting couples a…
The Association Between Having a Failed Marital Reconciliation in the First Marriage and Dissolution of the Second Marriage
Using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households data, this study examined the relationship between having a failed marital reconciliation in the first marriage and dissolution of the second marriage. Unsuccessful marital reconciliations are not uncommon; each year about 300,000 women become divorced after having a failed marital reconciliation. The results suggest that attempting a reconciliation in the first marriage is moderately assoc…
The Prevalence and Characteristics of Blacks Having a Successful Marital Reconciliation
This study, using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households data, has provided some insight as to the prevalence and characteristics of black women who had a successful reconciliation in their first marriage. Approximately one-fourth of the women attempting a marital reconciliation are still married more than one year after the reconciliation began. Logistic regrcssion analysis shows that age at separation and premarital fertility are si…

An Examination of Ever-Divorced Women Who Attempted a Marital Reconciliation Before Becoming Divorced
Using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Household data, this study provides some insight as to the prevalence and characteristics of ever-divorced white women who attempted a marital reconciliation before becoming divorced. In about 30% of the first marriages that end in divorce in the United States, a period of separation and reconciliation has preceded the woman's divorce. Using multivariate analysis, we find that age at first separation …
Separation and Reconciliation in American Marriages
Using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Household data, this study examines the process of separation and reconciliation in American marriages. For many couples, a period of separation and reconciliation has occurred in their current marriages and preceded divorce in earlier marriages. The temporary separations are not all short in duration; slightly more than one-quarter last over five months. Multiple reconciliations are quite common, as …
Marital Reconciliation in the United States
Americans continue to have high divorce rates, with half of the recent first marriages expected to end in divorce (Martin & Bumpass, 1989; Norton & Moorman, 1987). A wide variety of statistical techniques have been used on a myriad of data sets to document the differential dissolution rate among various subgroups of American society. Less research, however, has been conducted on the process of dissolution, owing to its complexity. The decision to…
Childbearing and Dissolution of the Second Marriage
The relationship between childbearing and dissolution of the 2nd marriage among white women was examined using 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households data and a probability sample of 713 non-Hispanic white women aged 19 and older who have been married 2 or more times whose 2nd marriage occurred between 1965 and 1988 and who were age 39 or younger at their 2nd marriage. Life table analysis determined the probability of dissolving the 2…
Delayed Childbearing, Childlessness and Marital Disruption
Using data from the June 1985 [U.S.] Current Population Survey this paper examines the relation between delayed childbearing and childlessness and marital dissolution among white and black women married at least five years; marital dissolution is measured by separation. Results of a multivariate analysis indicate that among whites those having their first birth while married have a reduced risk of separation whereas childless women and those havi…
Childbearing after Remarriage
Using June 1985 US Current Population Survey data this study provides a detailed analysis of childbearing that occurs after the 2nd marriage among women who remarry during their reproductive years. For both whites and blacks approximately 1/2 the women gave birth in the 2nd marriage; most of these births occur within 24 months of remarriage. Proportional-hazards models showed that among whites childbearing probabilities varied by sociodemographic…
Child Spacing in the United States
Data from the 1980 US Current Population Survey suggest 2 main patterns in terms of trends and socioeconomic differentials in child spacing: 1) younger women are less likely to experience short birth intervals than older women and 2) sociodemographic differentials in birth spacing are declining. The study population was comprised of 9228 married white mothers 25-44 years of age. Both young and older women in the sample were equally likely to have…
Education, age at first birth, and the timing of fertility in the United States
This paper enquires whether education and age at first birth, both strongly associated with completed fertility, are related to the timing of fertility, in particular the timing of the first three births, among once married white women. Analysis of data from the June 1985 United States Current Population Survey indicates that education is related to the timing of fertility; this relationship has remained relatively constant over time. Age at firs…
Duration between marriage and first birth and marital instability
This paper considers whether marital instability varies by the duration between marriage and first birth among ever‐married white and black American women. Analysis of data from the June 1985 Current Population Survey suggests that the duration between marriage and first birth has a generally monotonic relationship with the probability of white women separating or divorcing from their first marriage; the relationship has remained relatively const…
Differential fertility in the United States, 1980
This paper considers how changes in women's socio-cultural characteristics have influenced recent patterns of differential fertility in the United States and whether the convergence of fertility differentials observed up to 1970 has continued. Analysis of data from the June 1980 United States Current Population Survey, suggests that there has been no change in differential fertility in recent years. Age at first birth, length of first birth inter…
