Summary

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.
