As More College Students Struggle With Mental Health Issues, What Can Parents Do?
As More College Students Struggle With Mental Health Issues, What Can Parents Do?
This fall, NC State University lost four students to suicide. Other colleges, such as Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, and the University of North Carolina, have reported student suicides on the rise. The epidemic in suicide attempts by young people is more than concerning—it is frightening. For college-aged students in particular, there has been a sharp increase in suicidal ideation. In fact, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for college students.

More Tech, Less Teen Happiness
More Tech, Less Teen Happiness
Our teens are in crisis. The share of American high school students reporting “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness” has increased to nearly half of youth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That troubling news came on the heels of a report from Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program that the well-being of young adults has dramatically declined compared to older age groups.

New Research on Cheap Sex and Marriage Chances
New Research on Cheap Sex and Marriage Chances
Would you “buy the cow if you got the milk for free”? In a paper just published in Social Science Research, we provide a more definitive answer to this question. And it’s fairly straightforward: premarital sex indeed reduces the chances of marriage, but only in the short term. In the long term, your full sexual history doesn’t matter.

Why Are Liberals Less Happy Than Conservatives?
Why Are Liberals Less Happy Than Conservatives?
Liberals, especially liberal women, are significantly less likely to be happy with their lives and satisfied with their “mental health,” compared to their conservative peers aged from 18-55. This is the big takeaway from the 2022 American Family Survey, a striking new poll from YouGov and the Deseret News, which found that liberals are about 15 percentage points less likely to be “completely satisfied” with their lives.
The Crisis of Well-Being Among Young Adults and the Decline of Religiosity
The Crisis of Well-Being Among Young Adults and the Decline of Religiosity
For decades, well-being across adulthood has followed what social scientists call a “U-shaped pattern:” higher well-being in young adulthood, a dip during midlife, and increased well-being in older age. But earlier this year, the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University released troubling findings showing that there has been a complete flattening out of the left side of this U-curve. The well-being of young adults has dramatically declined compared to older age groups—a decline that is much larger for age than for any other variable, including gender or race.
A New Family Policy Agenda From House Republicans
A New Family Policy Agenda From House Republicans
From COVID-19 shutdowns to woke nonsense in classrooms, Republicans in states like Florida and Virginia found electoral success in responding to parents’ concerns and in directly addressing the cultural and economic threats undermining their families. Now, Republicans in Washington, D.C., are starting to lean into that same framing—and stand to reap the rewards.

Delaware's Pregnancy Prevention Campaign Is a One-Way Street
Delaware's Pregnancy Prevention Campaign Is a One-Way Street
The DelCAN program aimed to remove barriers for women seeking contraception, with a particular emphasis on providing long-acting reversible contraception (LARCs). The specially commissioned song put its emphasis on the way that a child could be a barrier to achieving one’s best life. Instead of having a baby, the song exhorted listeners to “be your own baby,” indulging in the kind of self-care and attention that would be impossible if someone else depended on you. “I’m all about me / so I rock that free BC,” one singer declares, while another sings, “I bought myself roses / don’t need no snotty noses.”

Envisioning a Pro-Family Policy Agenda: A Statement of Principles
Strong families are the foundation of a healthy society. Especially at a time when cultural, political, and economic trends have pushed marriage and fertility rates to record lows, it is crucial for policymakers to have a clear vision of how public policy might better support family life. One of the primary aims of our politics should be empowering mothers and fathers to better live out their obligations to each other, to their children, and to their communities.
