All models control for relationship duration, education, and race/ethnicity. “Same-sex couple” represents the interaction of actor and partner gender. Standardized estimates shown. Model 1 in each panel shows gender and dyad differences in each outcome. Model 2 in each panel shows changes in the gender and dyad differences after including partner health behavior in the model. Model 3 in each panel shows changes in gender and dyad differences after including actor-partner discordance in health behavior.
