About the Course

This course is based on a newly issued report that summarizes recent research regarding the effects of marriage on health.

For many other health outcomes, the effects of marriage remain largely unaddressed by rigorous research.

This course is based on the reading online article, The Effects of Marriage on Health: A Synthesis of Recent Research Evidence created by Wood, Robert G. et al
