National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2022 (ICPSR 38417)

Released/updated on: 2025-03-25

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2020-01-01--2022-01-01

The National Couples' Health and Time Study (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 entered the field on September 1, 2020, and data collection completed in April 2021. A follow-up survey (Wave 2) was fielded in 2022. The Wave 1 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. About 1,515 partners participated. NCHAT sample participants were recruited through the Gallup Panel. About 9 percent of the sample was non-Latinx Black, 6 percent non-Latinx Asian, 5 percent non-Latinx Multirace, 16 percent Latinx, and 1 percent another racial or ethnic identity. Approximately 55 percent of the sample identified as heterosexual, 20 percent as gay or lesbian, 10 percent as bisexual, and 15 percent as another sexual identity or multiple sexual identities. The sample was about evenly split between men and women, and almost 3 percent identified as another gender identity. 27 percent of couples were the same gender, and 4 percent were non-binary. About 75 percent were married and the remainder were cohabiting. The average age was 45. 65 percent of the sample had no children. One-third of the sample was in an interracial couple. 10 percent were born outside the US. Survey, time diary, experience sampling method, and geospatial data were collected. NCHAT is uniquely suited to address COVID, stress, family functioning, and physical and mental health and includes an abundance of contextual and acute measures of race and racism, sexism, and heterosexism.

Tracing the Health Consequences of Family Support During the COVID-19 Pandemic, United States, 2018-2021 (ICPSR 39319)

Released/updated on: 2025-04-15

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 2018-01-01--2021-01-01

This study examines experiences of health and economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic across generations of American families and how families responded to these challenges. To do so requires knowledge of each family member's characteristics and the contexts they experienced over the pandemic. Accordingly, researchers are creating a unique dataset that enhances the rich population-representative panel data in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) by linking comprehensive contextual data to multiple life domains of each generation.

Research to date has investigated the health, economic, and wellbeing impacts of essential work on couples using employment, occupation, and industry data from PSID. For additional information and code, see Measuring Essential/Frontline Work Using PSID (ICPSR 199304).
