Pandemic and Couples: Understanding the Relational Consequences of Mass Trauma

This project is designed to help us learn more about the role of COVID-19, trauma, family of origin issues, mental health, and other factors on couple wellbeing. Data have been collected from over 600 couples over a 6-month period. If you have a research question you would like to address about couple functioning and COVID-19, mental health, or trauma, please contact Dr. Banford Witting via email at alyssa_banfordwitting@byu.edu. Student roles in this project include data analyses, and learning to craft literature reviews by literature searching, drafting, and generally gaining skills in building publishable manuscripts. For students who are committed to a high level of involvement, co-authorship is a possibility.
