description: The original Oregon Youth Study began in 1983. The goal is to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with a view to designing preventive interventions within the context of the family and the school. This longitudinal study has expanded over the past few decades into an intergenerational study, retaining the original young men and including their partners and children.
This study evaluates a comprehensive model for couples from at-risk backgrounds on the basis of a dynamic developmental systems approach and stress and support processes to examine the risk and protective impacts of romantic relationships on health in adulthood. It was posited that both general and specific developmental and relationship risks have significant implications for health outcomes in mid-adulthood. In addition, the course of intimate partner violence in early mid-adulthood is examined.
