Outline of two faces in an upside-down kiss with each nose touching the other’s chin. A dense web of circles and lines, resembling beads on string, overlays the eye, nose, mouth, and chin area of each face and gives the appearance of a network of neurons. This network thins out as it spreads toward the back of the head. The background flares from light blue in the center to dark blue at the edges and is visible behind the faces.

DSDR is excited to announce the release of the National Couples’ Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417). 

NCHAT is a population-based study of couples in America that contains representative samples of racial and ethnic diverse and sexual and gender diverse individuals. NCHAT focuses on the experiences of co-habiting partners, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, examining relationship functioning, emotion regulation, discrimination, racial trauma, physical health, psychological well-being, health behaviors, stressors, and time use. The sample includes 3,642 main respondents. The sample frame included adults in the United States who ranged in age from 20-60 years old, who were married or cohabiting, and who were able to read English or Spanish. Approximately 1,515 partners participated.

NCHAT was conducted by Claire Kamp Dush (University of Minnesota) and Wendy Manning (Bowling Green State University) and funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
