“…As well as an increase in mood disorders post-separation, previous research on alcohol use has shown that males and females who have had a marital dissolution drink more heavily than those who are married (Power, Rodgers, & Hope, 1999). However, the majority of previous research does not differentiate between males who were parents and males who…”

“…For example, Power et al (1999) showed that males and females who have been through a marital dissolution are heavier drinkers than those who have not been through a marital dissolution and Umberson and Williams (1993) showed that divorced fathers exhibit higher rates of psychological distress and substance use than married males. However, prevalence of heavy substance use in this sample of separated parents is not as high as has been found in other samples (Chatav & Whisman, 2007;Power et al, 1999).…”

“…There are explanations for the survival advantage in other aspects. Studies suggested that the unmarried may be at greater risk of smoking and alcohol use 33, 34, which could do additional harm to the patients’ health. Physiologically, abnormal diurnal cortisol rhythm predicts earlier cancer death 35, 36, 37, and the abnormal profiles might be associated with quality of social support from friends and marriage.…”

Marital status and survival in patients with gastric cancer

et al. 2016

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of marital status on incidence of metastasis at diagnosis, receipt of surgery, and cause‐specific survival (CSS) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Research data is extracted from The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and 18,196 patients diagnosed with GC from 2004 to 2010 are involved. Effects of marital status on incidence of metastasis at diagnosis, receipt of surgery, and CSS are determined using multivariable logistic regression and multivariable Cox regression models, as appropriate. Single GC patients have a higher incidence of metastasis at diagnosis than married patients, while the differences between divorced/separated patients or widowed patients and married patients are not significant. Among those without distant metastasis, single patients, divorced/separated patients, and widowed patients are much less likely to accept surgery compared with married patients. Finally, in the whole group of 18,196 GC patients, single patients, divorced/separated patients, and widowed patients have shorter CSS compared with married patients, even in each of the TNM stage. Marriage had a protective effect against undertreatment and cause‐specific mortality (CSM) in GC. Spousal support may contribute to higher rate of surgery receipt and better survival in patients with GC.

“…Rosenbaum and Kandel (1990) used a national sample and found substance use increased the likelihood of precocious fi rst intercourse three to fi ve times for females and two to three times for males. Examining those females, Mensch and Kandel (1992) found pregnancy four times more likely among illegal drug users compared with those who never used.Subsequent research found delayed/deferred marriage and a greater likelihood of premarital cohabitation among heavy episodic drinkers than nondrinkers (Duncan et al, 2006;Fu and Goldman, 1996;Power et al, 1999); there are similar effects of illegal drug use (DeKlyen et al, 2006;Fu and Goldman, 1996;Kaestner, 1997). Substance use also may increase the likelihood of pregnancy risk behaviors (Cooper, 2002;Guo et al, 2002;Santelli et al, 2001).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study extended previous research on the association of substance use with family formation behavior by assessing the effects of the type and extent of adolescent substance use in a competing risks model. Substance use was expected to increase the likelihood of nonmarital family formation overall and differently by gender. Method: Longitudinal data from home interviews with the 14-to 16-year-old respondents to the fi rst wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (N = 4,011) were used in multinomial logistic regressions estimating the odds that fi rst cohabitation, parenthood, or remaining single occurred before fi rst marriage among fi ve types of substance users compared with nonusers. Full sample analysis preceded separate analyses of women (n = 1,946) and men (n = 2,065). Results: Illegal drug use and concurrent substance use increased the likelihood that cohabitation, as opposed to marriage, was the fi rst family type. Concurrent use of three types of substances had the largest effect on family formation behavior. The effects of singular marijuana use mattered only for men. The effects of substance use on parenthood as the fi rst family type were signifi cant only for women and increased the likelihood that marriage occurred fi rst. Conclusions: The effects of substance use depended on the type(s) of substance(s) used, singular or concurrent use, and gender. Previous research regarding cohabitation was supported and extended. Assumptions that substance use leads to teenage or unwed parenthood based on the relationship of substance use to pregnancy or its predictors should be re-examined. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 71, 938-949, 2010) Received: February 18, 2010. Revision: June 14, 2010. *This research was supported by National Institute on Drug Abuse grant 1R26DA021318-01.† Correspondence may be sent to Dr. Andrea Kay Ryan at the above address or via email at: akr31@pitt.edu. T EENAGE OR PREMARITAL COHABITATION, preunion parenthood, or not forming an adult family relate to later poverty, educational failure, unstable labor force participation, criminality, depression, stress, partner violence, and poor physical health (Brown, 2000;Crane, 1991;DeKlyen et al., 2006;Frye et al., 2007;Hagestad and Call, 2007;Knight et al., 1977;Popenoe, 2007). Substance use is an important behavior associated with family formation. For instance, young adults signifi cantly reduce their frequency of substance use when they marry; however, frequency declines only modestly among people who remain single (Bachman et al., 1997;Leonard and Rothbard, 1999; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2004). A longstanding explanation of the "marriage effect" is that the cultural norms of adult family roles in marriage discourage substance use (Bachman et al., 1997(Bachman et al., , 2002Coleman, 1978;Duncan et al., 2006;Homish and Leonard, 2005).Assumptions that marriage changes all types of substance use behavior may not be justifi ed, however. In this study, illegal drug use was de...
