Understanding Challenges in Early Marriage
Project Update!
The "Understanding Challenges in Early Marriage Project" is now into its third year!! We have recruited over 330 newlywed couples and are currently collecting 1-year and 2-year follow up data.
Since you are an important part of the research team that is making this project possible, we wanted to share some of the information that we've collected so far so that you can see how the project is going. We also wanted to provide a couple links to early press coverage of the research project.
Thanks again for helping us make this project a continuing success!
