“…Of note, social health is intimately bound not only to life expectancy, as reviewed previously, but also to life chances. Just as with physical and psychological health, social health patterns so much about a person's life trajectory, including educational attainment (e.g., Dufur, Parcel, & Troutman, 2013), career prospects (e.g., Seibert et al, 2001), residential independence (e.g., Seiffe-Krenke, 2006) and family formation (e.g., Thorsen, 2017).…”

Drawing upon extensive literature on the importance of social relationships from across social science and health disciplines, we propose a strong conceptualization of social health as a dynamic and multifaceted construct with the ability to expand and focus theory, research and practice. We define social health as the perceived and actual availability and quality of one’s various social relationships. Using this conceptualization, we demonstrate how a tripartite model of health, situated within the human body (and mind), best explains well-documented interrelationships between physical, psychological and social aspects of health. In order to describe the utility and importance of social health, we discuss its significance to understanding and addressing population health concerns, especially health inequalities, as well as recent major global events, including the rise of “deaths of despair” and the COVID-19 pandemic. By renewing research on social health under the framework presented herein, scholars can unify disparate lines of work on constructs ranging from loneliness and social integration to close relationship quality and social capital. Moreover, we argue that adoption of the concept of social health is critical to the success of nations, states and health systems across societies in guaranteeing an optimal state of health for all.

The first family formation among young Americans: the role of family process

2021

The percentage of young American adults living with their parents is said to have increased steadily over the last few decades. However, limited research has examined the role of parent-adolescent interaction in the first family formation of young adults. This study examines the association between adolescents' family process and their first union formation (marriage and cohabitation) from the ages of 16 to 35. This study also tests whether the influence of the family process varies significantly by age. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, an event history analysis was conducted to address how the mechanisms of social learning by family affect the timing and types of first union formation. The results indicate that individuals with a positive family process have a lower risk of cohabitating during adolescence and a higher chance of transitioning to marriage than cohabitation in their first union formation. The findings also show that a positive family process is associated with higher chances of marriage in the mid-twenties and later. The study further shows that fathers may have a substantial role to play in affecting the timing and types of first union formation of their children compared to mothers. The findings of this study suggest that family processes are important in determining the timing and type of first union formation among young people in the United States.
