For Participants

Thanks to your involvement in HARP, researchers are gaining a deeper understanding of how couples support each other’s health and well-being over time. This research is helping to shape how we think about health—not just as something experienced as an individual, but as something shared between partners.

By sharing your experiences—both in everyday moments and across the years—you’ve helped us uncover how relationships grow, change, and influence health in both same- and different-sex marriages. Your contributions are helping inform public policy, guide healthcare practices, and improve support for couples everywhere.

We’re incredibly grateful for your time, your openness, and your commitment to this important work. HARP wouldn’t be possible without you!
