description: This study is part of the Oregon Youth Study, which began in 1983 and has now become the Three Generational Study (3GS). The aim of the original study was to examine the etiology of antisocial behaviors in boys, with the longer-term goal of designing preventative interventions. The longitudinal study expanded and now includes this study, the Oregon Youth Study Couples Study. This study explores behaviors among the respondents and their romantic partners, covering topics such as social patterns, sexual behavior, drug and alcohol use, and mental health. The rationale for examining the data is that trends in romantic partnerships may play a significant role in physical health outcomes.
description: The purpose of this study is to examine the risk and protective impacts of romantic relationships on health in adulthood. It tests the idea that general and specific developmental and relationship risks have significant implications for health outcomes in mid-adulthood, which can be marked by various stress indicators and intimate partner violence.
description: This is study is based on a comprehensive model for couples from at-risk backgrounds on the basis of a dynamic developmental systems approach and stress and support processes.
description: The data includes informations for respondents and their partners regarding mental health, sexual behavior, partner violence, social patterns, drug and alcohol use, childhood experiences, and general attitudes in adulthood.
