The aim of this study is to (a) document variations in the mental and physical health outcomes of married and widowed respondents, (b) ascertain whether widowed persons who were previously in age heterogamous unions are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of widowhood, and (c) assess the extent to which differential selection, marital quality, and health practices during marriage account for health disparities by marital status and spousal age gap.

Previous studies have documented the association between bullying and both health behaviors and symptoms.21, 43,44 These studies indicate that while being bullied is associated with difficulty making friends and lower use of alcohol, 21 perpetration of bullying is associated with more time spent with friends44 and increased use of alcohol and cigarettes.21 This suggests that although adolescents who are bullied may be at less risk for adverse health outcomes associated with substance use, they may be at increased risk for somatic complaints associated with poor peer relationships.3, 18 New initiatives such as the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration's Stop Bullying Now campaign45 should be evaluated for their efficacy in raising public awareness and reducing the prevalence of bulhealth behaviors and symptoms.21, 43,44 These studies indicate that while being bullied is associated with difficulty making friends and lower use of alcohol, 21 perpetration of bullying is associated with more time spent with friends44 and increased use of alcohol and cigarettes.21 This suggests that although adolescents who are bullied may be at less risk for adverse health outcomes associated with substance use, they may be at increased risk for somatic complaints associated with poor peer relationships.3, 18 New initiatives such as the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration's Stop Bullying Now campaign45 should be evaluated for their efficacy in raising public awareness and reducing the prevalence of bulhealth outcomes associated with substance use, they may be at increased risk for somatic complaints associated with poor peer relationships.3, 18 New initiatives such as the US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration's Stop Bullying Now campaign45 should be evaluated for their efficacy in raising public awareness and reducing the prevalence of bulHealth and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration's Stop Bullying Now campaign45 should be evaluated for their efficacy in raising public awareness and reducing the prevalence of bulHealth Resources and Services Administration's Stop Bullying Now campaign45 should be evaluated for their efficacy in raising public awareness and reducing the prevalence of bullying.
