Call for Couples to Participate in Gray Divorce research!
|
DENVER-May 5, 2015-Scientists at the University of Denver's Center for Marital and Family Studies are launching a study to assess how older adults may benefit from couple-relationship education. The study uses an online version of the Prevention and Relationship Education Program (PREP), which is based on more than 30 years of research. PREP has been used to help couples of all ages for many years, but never before studied with older couples. The researchers are interested in this population because by 2030 there will be twice as many older adults as in 2000, and because the 2010 divorce rate for adults over 50 was two times the 1990 divorce rate.
This phenomenon has been called the "Gray Divorce Revolution." According to study's lead investigator, Ben Loew, M.A., "Research also suggests that improving relationship health may actually increase physical health and longevity."
The researchers are looking for couples who have been married or lived together for at least a year, in which both partners are 62 or older and have their own e-mail addresses as well as high-speed internet access. All eligible couples who choose to participate will receive free access to the program for one month, either immediately or within one month of signing up. All participants will need to complete a survey about their relationship and overall health at the start of the study, and again one month later. Those who complete the second survey receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card.
Couples who are interested in participating in this study should e-mail oldercouplesresearch@gmail.com.

When you spend a lot of time reading and writing about American families, it's easy to focus on the bad news: high rates of family instability, widespread financial difficulties in the wake of the recession, expensive government-supported programs with disappointing result .As Sara Rosenbaum and Robert Blum document in a new Future of Children article, improvements in child survival during the twentieth century "are nothing short of breathtaking"In 1910, the infant mortality rate was 127.6 per 1,000 live births; by 2012, the rate had dropped to 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.
