| Keywords: | Using data from the British Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), we examine whether and how the health benefits of having two biological parents in a continuous marital relationship vary by maternal nativity, taking into account differences by country origin. Making novel use of Classification and Regression Tree (CART) methods, we demonstrate that marriage is not a uniform marker of economic advantage and better health-related behaviors across four maternal nativity and ethnic groups. The findings, which indicate that the health-related advantages associated with marriage are not uniform across nativity and ethnic groups, have implications for future research on family gaps in well-being and the socioeconomic determinants of health. |
