Abstract: Divorce conflict is the main driver of adverse post orce health adjustments among orcing families. Despite the growing potential of online orce support programs, there is concern that such solutions might not be sufficient to impact health‐related disparities among high‐conflict orcees. The present study examined the effectiveness of the digital “Cooperation after Divorce” intervention as a function of conflict among 1856 recently orced Danish residents. Linear mixed‐effect regression modeling suggested that, although higher levels of orce conflict at judicial orce predicted worse health outcomes up to 1 year following orce, the effectiveness of the digital orce intervention did not vary as a function of the initial level of orce conflict. In iduals in the intervention group with higher conflict in orce still reported worse health at 12 months follow‐up than those with lower levels of orce conflict however, much lower than the control group.

Abstract: Research into gender and post orce mental and physical health has been highly inconsistent. The Gender Similarities Hypothesis suggests there are more similarities than differences and the Divorce Stress Adjustment Perspective suggests that structural inequalities may contribute to adverse post orce outcomes. We conducted secondary analyses from an RCT study to investigate if there were gender-specific trajectories and whether gender was associated with outcomes (self-perceived stress, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and somatization, general hostility, and overall mental and physical health) after controlling for effects of the intervention, income, and number of children using linear mixed-effect regression modeling, and whether number of children and income influenced these outcomes. Participants were 1,239 women and 617 men from the Cooperation after Divorce (CAD) study, conducted in Denmark, a country with less income disparity, high gender equality, shared childrearing by men and women, and societal acceptance of orce. The analyses assessing the relationship between gender and 12-month post orce adjustment in terms of physical and mental health outcomes revealed that for self-perceived stress, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and somatization, hostility, and overall mental and physical health in this s le post orce adjustment trajectories were not gender-specific, and gender was only significantly associated with stress and somatization as a time-invariant additive effect. These findings suggest gender similarities in post orce adjustment and contribute to the Gender Similarities Hypothesis and the Divorce-Stress-Adjustment-Perspective by assessing in iduals' post orce adjustment in a low-stigma and relatively egalitarian setting, providing a clearer assessment of the role of gender without potentially confounding issues of structural inequalities.

Abstract: The last decades of research have consistently found strong associations between orce and adverse health outcomes among adults. However, limitations of a majority of this research include (a) lack of “real-time” research, i.e., research employing data collected very shortly after juridical orce where little or no separation periods have been effectuated, (b) research employing thoroughly validated and population-normed measures against which study results can be compared, and (c) research including a comprehensive array of previously researched sociodemographic- and orce-related variables. The current cross-sectional study, including 1,856 recently orced Danes, was designed to bridge these important gaps in the literature. Mental and physical health were measured using the Short Form 36 (SF-36)-2. Analyses included correlational analyses, t- test comparisons, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses. The study found that the health-related quality of life of Danish orcees was significantly worse than the comparative background population immediately following orce. Across gender, higher levels of orce conflict were found to predict worse mental health, and worse physical health for women, even when controlling for other socio-demographic variables and orce characteristics. Among men, lower age and higher income predicted better physical health, while more children, more previous orces, participant orce initiation, new partner status, and lower levels of orce conflict predicted better mental health. Among women, higher income, fewer previous orces, new partner status, and lower levels of orce conflict predicted better physical health while higher income, participant orce initiation, new partner status, and lower levels of orce conflict predicted better mental health. The findings underscore the relevance of providing assistance to orcees who experience higher levels of orce conflict immediately following orce, in seeking to reduce potential long-term negative health effects of orce.
