Abstract

Marital dissolution is a stressful transition that can lead to unhealthy coping strategies, including smoking and drinking. Using fixed effect linear probability models to assess health behavior changes, we analyzed 6,607 women and 6,689 men in the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia data set who were either continuously married or experienced marital separation between 2002 and 2020. We observed 1,376 separations (744 women, 632 men). We found that drinking and smoking increases leading to and in the year of separation, with variability by gender, education, and parenthood status. From Cox proportional hazards models, we showed that among individuals who smoked (N = 337) or drank (N = 756) in the year of separation, cessation was most likely for the highly educated and/or women. Unhealthy coping mechanisms throughout marital dissolution suggests a need for targeted support to those separating, especially for men and those with children and lower education.

打破束缚,改变习惯:了解婚姻破裂期间和之后的健康行为。
婚姻破裂是一个充满压力的过渡期,可能导致不健康的应对策略,包括吸烟和饮酒。使用固定效应线性概率模型来评估健康行为的变化,我们分析了澳大利亚家庭、收入和劳动力动态数据集中的6607名女性和6689名男性,他们要么在2002年至2020年期间持续结婚,要么经历了婚姻分居。我们观察到1,376次分离(744名女性,632名男性)。我们发现,在分居前后,饮酒和吸烟的情况有所增加,且随性别、受教育程度和生育状况而变化。从Cox比例风险模型中,我们发现在分离年份吸烟(N = 337)或饮酒(N = 756)的个体中,高学历和/或女性最有可能戒烟。婚姻破裂过程中不健康的应对机制表明,需要有针对性地支持那些分居的人,特别是男性和有子女和受教育程度较低的人。

期刊介绍: Journal of Health and Social Behavior is a medical sociology journal that publishes empirical and theoretical articles that apply sociological concepts and methods to the understanding of health and illness and the organization of medicine and health care. Its editorial policy favors manuscripts that are grounded in important theoretical issues in medical sociology or the sociology of mental health and that advance theoretical understanding of the processes by which social factors and human health are inter-related.
