I'm currently working on two projects: one, a study that uses data from the General Social Survey and the National Health and Social Life Survey to explore the benefits and stresses of work, partner, and parent roles among gay men and lesbians and their influence on health and well-being; the other, an examination of internet personal ads to determine whether prior experience with marriage, presence of children, and age are associated with differences in what single adults seek in potential mates.
