Abstract

Uses a cohort of unmarried young adults who were sampled when they were 18, 21, or 24 years old and resampled seven years later. Results indicate no differences between cohabitators and married couples in levels of depression. Cohabitating men report more alcohol problems than married and single men; cohabitating women reported more alcohol problems than married women. (Author/MKA)
