The Diverse Families Project

Thank you for your interest in the Diverse Families Project!

We have re-opened enrollment in The Diverse Families Project for same-sex couples only.

We are conducting this study to examine family relationships within different 2-parent families, and to gain a better understanding of how family relationships may be related to adolescent behavior. In order to learn more about the experiences of family members, we are asking both parents and their oldest adolescent child to complete a short survey.

There are three criteria for participation:
1) There must be two adults and one adolescent child (age 12-17) in each family.
2) Adults must be in a partnered relationship and must have been living together for at least 3 years.
3) Adolescents must live with participating adults at least half-time (i.e., an average of 4 days per week). The adolescent does not have to be biologically related to either adult.

If you would like to participate, click here to complete our “Interested Parents” Form. Provided you qualify for the study, we will send you a survey link and unique password that only you can use to participate.

If you are a parent and have received a password from us via email, please follow the link to begin.

If you are an adolescent and have received a password from us via email, please follow the link to begin.

If you have forgotten your password or have any questions, please email diverse.families@cgu.edu.
