An unbreakable bond? Maternal adverse childhood experiences and mothers’ relationships with adult children
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)-the constellation of experiences of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction in childhood-affect the subsequent formation and maintenance of social relationships. Yet to date, there is limited knowledge on the potential consequences of maternal ACEs for the mother-adult child tie, one of the most important relationships across the life course. Insights from a life course perspective and research on the delete…
Intergenerational Coresidence With Children and Grandchildren and Maternal Sleep Duration at Midlife
Objectives Mothers with young children tend to have shorter sleep durations than childfree women, but previous research has not considered heterogeneity in sleep duration among midlife mothers who have varying coresidential patterns with their adult, minor, and grandchildren. We examine the distribution of sleep duration across mothers’ different intergenerational coresidential contexts (living without any children, living with any minor children…
Dynamics of Adult Child-Mother Relationships in Emerging Adulthood by Gender and Race
Despite the turbulence of emerging adulthood, past research has mostly overlooked within-person heterogeneity in adult children’s levels of contact and closeness with their mothers during this period. Research further obscures how such temporal relationship patterns may vary across sociodemographic categories. We identify unique trajectories of the adult child-mother relationship using sequence analysis on the National Longitudinal Survey of Yout…
Distributions of Adverse Childbearing Experiences Across Racial and Ethnic Groups: A Research Note
Adverse childbearing experiences, such as preterm births and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stays, are especially prevalent among Black and Hispanic pregnant people. In this research note, we provide a novel way of considering racial and ethnic patterns regarding adverse childbearing experiences by analyzing the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79; N = 3,637). We use latent class analysis to identify four specific classes of a…
Early unintended childbearing and unsecured debt in the United States
BACKGROUNDUnsecured debt is increasingly recognized as a unique financial stressor with serious implications for health and well-being.While research has documented its consequences, few studies have examined the life course factors that contribute to unsecured debt accumulation.One such factor is unintended childbearing, a major yet underexplored life event that can disrupt educational and economic trajectories. OBJECTIVEThe objective of this st…
Aging and Mentorship in the Margins: Multigenerational Knowledge Transfer Among LGBTQ+ Chosen Families
Objectives For LGBTQ+ communities, learning often happens among chosen families, including older adults. Building on Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical concepts of capital (e.g., economic, social, cultural, symbolic) and queer theory of sexual capital, this article examines how LGBTQ+ chosen families share expertise to build knowledge and power across the life course. Methods Using a transformative sequential mixed-methods design from a larger project…
Motherhood Biographies and Health Over the Life Course
Mothers' health outcomes are often distinct from health outcomes of childfree women, yet how and why motherhood matters for health depends on one's history of becoming and being a mother across the life course, as well as the broader structural context in which the mother is embedded. We develop the motherhood biographies conceptual framework to understand links between motherhood and health throughout the life course and across social positions,…
How intergenerational estrangement matters for maternal and adult children's health
ObjectiveWe compare maternal and adult child health outcomes across (1) estranged (i.e., no contact, or low contact and low quality), (2) socially positive (i.e., high quality, moderate to high contact), and (3) socially negative (i.e., high contact but low quality) maternal-adult child relationships.BackgroundWe develop intergenerational resource, crisis, and strain theories to test the link between socially positive, socially negative, and estr…
Women’s childbearing histories and their alcohol use at midlife
There has been increased alcohol use among mid-life women in recent decades. Given the association between alcohol use and childbearing earlier in life and the centrality of childbearing for other aspects of mid-life women's health, we examined how multiple components of childbearing histories were associated with mid-life alcohol use. Our analysis included 3,826 women from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). We estimated how…
Childbearing Histories and Midlife Cognition: Accounting for Early Life Factors
Selection into specific childbearing experiences partially drives the link between childbearing and cognition at midlife, with cascading implications into later life. We suggest incorporating childbearing and early life factors into models to identify social determinants of memory and cognitive functioning
Cumulative Disadvantage or Strained Advantage? Remote Schooling, Paid Work Status, and Parental Mental Health during the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents experienced difficulties around employment and children's schooling, likely with detrimental mental health implications. We analyze National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 data (N = 2,829) to estimate depressive symptom changes from 2019 to 2021 by paid work status and children's schooling modality, considering partnership status, gender, and race-ethnicity differences. We draw on cumulative disadvantage t…
Using mixed methods approaches to study families and relationships
Mixed methods research-methodologies that synthesize qualitative and quantitative approaches in the design, collection, analysis, and dissemination of research related to a specific topic or aim-is increasingly common, offering innovative empirical insight into families and relationships. We first elaborate on our definition of mixed methods research, emphasizing that there is significant heterogeneity within mixed methods approaches to studying …
Twentieth-Century Change in the Educational Costs of Adolescent Childbearing
Although studies observe heterogeneity in the effects of adolescent childbearing on schooling, little is currently known about when this pattern emerged or how it changed across cohorts of women who lived in distinct periods of US history. This article identifies the potential origins of effect heterogeneity in the educational costs of adolescent childbearing and extends recent advances in causal inference to detect group differences in heterogen…
Parent–adult child estrangement in the United States by gender, race/ethnicity, and sexuality
Objective: To provide nationally-representative estimates of parent-adult child estrangement. Background: Population-level research is needed on parent-adult child estrangement to understand the full range of family dynamics in the U.S. Method: We estimate logistic regression models using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child and Young Adult supplement to determine estimates of estrangement (and subsequent unestrangement)…
Sequencing of Births by Wantedness: Implications for Changes in Mid-Life Health Among Aging NLSY79 Women
This project demonstrates the need for comprehensive life course perspectives on long-term health implications of birth wantedness and timing, recognizing diversity within and between individuals
Age at first birth and women's midlife health: Cohort and race differences across the 20th century
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Mental Health and Mental Health Care During The Covid-19 Pandemic
Relationship Status-Based Health Disparities during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Previous research finds that marriage is a privileged family form with health benefits. These health advantages may have shifted during the pandemic, as more time was spent at home and resources strained. This study compares differences in three health outcomes across relationship statuses between April and December 2020 using a nationally-representative US survey, the Household Pulse Survey (N = 1,422,733). As the pandemic progressed, larger dif…
Childbearing Biographies and Midlife Women’s Health
Different childbearing biographies are related to physical health inequalities above what is demonstrated by the typical use of one or two childbearing measures, providing a new perspective into the growing health gap among aging midlife women
Childbearing Biographies as a Method to Examine Diversity and Clustering of Childbearing Experiences: A Research Brief
Using Administrative Data to Assess Transgender Health and Mortality Disparities
The development of gendered health-related support dynamics over the course of a marriage
For married adults with chronic illnesses or functional limitations, informal support from a spouse is often essential for their well-being, but support around health issues is not confined to later life. Attention to processes of support throughout the entire intimate relationship can provide insight into support dynamics in later life. Additionally, health-related support from a spouse tends to be gendered with women providing more support. Our…
Support in response to a spouse’s distress: Comparing women and men in same-sex and different-sex marriages
Support for a spouse with psychological distress can be expressed in many different ways. Previous research indicates that support expression is shaped by gender, but we do not know much about how support within marriage is provided in response to a spouse’s distress outside of a different-sex couple context. In this study, we analyze dyadic data from 378 midlife married couples (35–65 years; N = 756 individuals) within the U.S. to examine how me…
“Go See Somebody”: How Spouses Promote Mental Health Care
This study considers when, whether, and how spouses encourage professional mental health care by analyzing qualitative data from 90 in-depth interviews with gay, lesbian, and heterosexual spouses. Findings show that a majority of spouses are engaged in promoting each other’s mental health care but that the strategies used to promote care vary by gender and the gender composition of the couple. The majority of gay men and lesbian women promote car…
Divorce, Economic Resources, and Survival among Older Black and White Women
Objective This study identifies which midlife economic resources reduce the association between divorce and mortality risk among older Black and White women. Background Despite evidence that divorce increases mortality risk due to economic losses, research has not established which among several common economic resources related to divorce are most important for older women's survival. There is also relatively little research on why marital inequ…
Race, Gender, and Chains of Disadvantage: Childhood Adversity, Social Relationships, and Health
We use a life course approach to guide an investigation of relationships and health at the nexus of race and gender. We consider childhood as a sensitive period in the life course, during which significant adversity may launch chains of disadvantage in relationships throughout the life course that then have cumulative effects on health over time. Data from a nationally representative panel study (Americans' Changing Lives, N = 3,477) reveal subst…
Gendered emotion work around physical health problems in mid- and later-life marriages
Intimacy and Emotion Work in Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual Relationships
Knowledge about how gender shapes intimacy is dominated by a heteronormative focus on relationships involving a man and a woman. In this study, the authors shifted the focus to consider gendered meanings and experiences of intimacy in same-sex and different-sex relationships. They merged the gender-as-relational perspective-that gender is co-constructed and enacted within relationships-with theoretical perspectives on emotion work and intimacy to…
Family Matters: Research on Family Ties and Health, 2010 to 2020
Family ties have wide-ranging consequences for health, for better and for worse. This decade review uses a life course perspective to frame significant advances in research on the effects of family structure and transitions (e.g., marital status) and family dynamics and quality (e.g., emotional support from family members) on health across the life course. Significant advances include the linking of childhood family experiences to health at older…
Challenges and Opportunities for Research on Same-Sex Relationships
Research on same-sex relationships has informed policy debates and legal decisions that greatly affect American families, yet the data and methods available to scholars studying same-sex relationships have been limited. In this article the authors review current approaches to studying same-sex relationships and significant challenges for this research. After exploring how researchers have dealt with these challenges in prior studies, the authors …
The Gender‐as‐Relational Approach for Theorizing About Romantic Relationships of Sexual and Gender Minority Mid‐ to Later‐Life Adults
We deploy the "gender-as-relational" (GAR) approach to enhance the study of the long-term romantic relationships of sexual and gender minority mid- to later-life adults. The GAR approach states that gender within relationships is shaped by three key factors: own gender, partner's gender, and the gendered relational context. This approach highlights that the relationship dynamics of men, women, and gender nonconforming people are highly diverse, r…
Physical Illness in Gay, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Marriages: Gendered Dyadic Experiences
The inclusion of same-sex married couples can illuminate and challenge assumptions about gender that are routinely taken for granted in studies of physical illness. We analyze gender dynamics in gay, lesbian, and heterosexual marriages with in-depth interview data from 90 spouses (45 couples) to consider how spouses co-construct illness experiences in ways that shape relationship dynamics. Overall, findings indicate that men tend to downplay illn…
Diet and Exercise in Parenthood: A Social Control Perspective
Previous work on social control-the direct and indirect regulation of an individual's health behaviors by others-suggests that parent-child relationships promote healthy diet and exercise. Yet parenthood is associated with less healthy diet and exercise patterns. The authors investigated this paradox by examining social control processes in 40 in-depth interviews with mothers and fathers. They found that parenthood involves social control process…
Marital Histories and Heavy Alcohol Use among Older Adults
We develop a gendered marital biography approach-which emphasizes the accumulating gendered experiences of singlehood, marriage, marital dissolution, and remarriage-to examine the relationship between marital statuses and transitions and heavy alcohol use. We test this approach using individual-level ( n = 10,457) and couple-level ( n = 2,170) longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study, and individual-level ( n = 46) and couple-level …
Anticipatory Minority Stressors among Same-sex Couples: A Relationship Timeline Approach
The authors build on previous stress theories by drawing attention to the concept of anticipatory couple-level minority stressors (i.e., stressors expected to occur in the future that emanate from the stigmatization of certain relationship forms). A focus on anticipatory couple-level minority stressors brings with it the potential for important insight into vulnerabilities and resiliencies of people in same-sex relationships, the focus of this st…
Happiness and Sexual Minority Status
Childhood Adversity and Men’s Relationships in Adulthood: Life Course Processes and Racial Disadvantage
A life course perspective directs attention to the early life origins of cumulative patterns of social disadvantage, patterns that extend to later life. Our findings suggest psychosocial and behavioral pathways through which early life adversity may constrain and strain men's relationships, possibly contributing to racial inequality in family relationships across the life span
Instrumental- and Emotion-Focused Care Work During Physical Health Events: Comparing Gay, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Marriages
Investigating how midlife same-sex and different-sex spouses care for each other during a spouse's health event expands understandings of gendered aging experiences within marriage. Findings can elucidate health policies and clinical strategies that best support the health of men and women in same- and different-sex marriages
How Do Race and Hispanic Ethnicity Affect Nursing Home Admission? Evidence From the Health and Retirement Study
Our findings indicate that substantial racial and ethnic variations in nursing home admission continue to exist and that Hispanic use is particularly low. We argue that these differences may demonstrate a significant underuse of nursing homes for racial and ethnic minorities. Alternatively, they could signify different preferences for nursing home care, perhaps due to unmeasured cultural factors or structural obstacles
Relationship dynamics around depression in gay and lesbian couples
Sexual Minority Status and Self-Rated Health: The Importance of Socioeconomic Status, Age, and Sex
Objectives. I examined how sexual minority status, as indicated by sex of sexual partners, is associated with self-rated health and how socioeconomic status suppresses and age and sex moderate this association. Methods. I used multinomial logistic regression to analyze aggregated data from the 1991 to 2010 General Social Survey, a population-based data set (n = 13 480). Results. Respondents with only different-sex partners or with any same-sex pa…
Age at first birth and women's midlife health: Cohort and race differences across the 20th century
How families matter for health inequality during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
We theorize that social conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have the potential to increase the importance of families for health and widen existing inequalities. We suggest three primary tenets important for understanding families and health during COVID-19. First, risks of specific COVID-19 outcomes and other health problems are unevenly distributed across families. Second, how families impact health during the COVID-19 pandemic is cond…
Planning for Future Care and the End of Life: A Qualitative Analysis of Gay, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Couples
Two key components of end-of-life planning are (1) informal discussions about future care and other end-of-life preferences and (2) formal planning via living wills and other legal documents. We leverage previous work on the institutional aspects of marriage and on sexual-minority discrimination to theorize why and how heterosexual, gay, and lesbian married couples engage in informal and formal end-of-life planning. We analyze qualitative dyadic …
How intergenerational estrangement matters for maternal and adult children's health
ObjectiveWe compare maternal and adult child health outcomes across (1) estranged (i.e., no contact, or low contact and low quality), (2) socially positive (i.e., high quality, moderate to high contact), and (3) socially negative (i.e., high contact but low quality) maternal-adult child relationships.BackgroundWe develop intergenerational resource, crisis, and strain theories to test the link between socially positive, socially negative, and estr…
Multiple Chronic Conditions, Spouse's Depressive Symptoms, and Gender within Marriage
Multiple chronic conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) increase a person's depressive symptoms more than having one chronic condition. Little is known regarding whether multimorbidity similarly increases the depressive symptoms of one's spouse and whether this depends on type of condition, gender, or both spouses' health status. Analysis of multiple waves of the Health and Retirement Study reveals husband's number of chronic conditions is positively …
Relationship Status and Long-Term Care Facility Use in Later Life
By addressing the prohibitive costs of long-term care services which enable aging in place (e.g., home health care), relationship status disparities in long-term care may be reduced. Future studies should consider the link between long-term care facility use and relationship status in future cohorts as well as examine how relationship status structures access to a range of long-term care options
The Psychological Toll of Emotion Work in Same-Sex and Different-Sex Marital Dyads
ObjectiveThis study considers how the provision of daily emotion work may affect the psychological well-being of the emotion worker, and how this linkage may vary for men and women in same- and different-sex marriages.BackgroundEmotion work-work intended to bolster a spouse's well-being by reading and managing the spouse's emotional needs-is common within marital relationships and often gendered, with women more aware of and concerned with emotio…

Family Status and Mental Health: Recent Advances and Future Directions
Marital Processes around Depression: A Gendered and Relational Perspective
Despite extensive evidence of the importance of marriage and marital processes for mental health, little is known about the interpersonal processes around depression within marriage and the extent to which these processes are gendered. We use a mixed-methods approach to explore the importance of gender in shaping processes around depression within marriage. We approach this in two ways: First, using quantitative longitudinal analysis of 2,601 cou…

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender families and health
Research consistently demonstrates that family relationships are key determinants of health, but most research on health and families focuses on a heterosexual and cisgender context. Sexual and gender identities often are overlooked or erased in family and health research.
