This presentation focuses on a study examining the relationship between couples’ dyadic coping and health behaviors. Using secondary data from the Health and Relationships Project, United States, 2014–2015 (ICPSR Study No. 37404), the study investigates how dyadic coping in stressful situations is associated with individuals’ own health behaviors as well as those of their partners, including smoking, sleep duration, exercise, and alcohol consumption. To examine these associations, the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model is used.
