Lerner Chair, Shannon Monnat, co-authored a new study titled "Opioid misuse and family structure: Changes and continuities in the role of marriage and children over two decades" in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. Monnat and colleagues found that marriage protects against opioid misuse, and the presence of children protects against opioid misuse but varies by marital status.
