Participant Family Information

Table VI presents information on the marital status of participants. Data taken from the Impact Survey are modified based on information obtained during the Informal Interviews. While married participants outnumbered those unmarried at the time of the study, there is a clear history of multiple marriages and divorces among participants. Only eight participants (11 percent) had never married while 19 participants (27 percent) had multiple marriages.

The 70 participants had a total of 245 children with 14 of 21 men (66 percent) parents to 41 children. One woman was single with no children and another was married with no children.

As reported in Table VII, six single women and one single man were the parents of 23 children; 188 children were the product of 54 first marriages; 30 children resulted from 13 second marriages and four children were the offspring of three third marriages.
