This study addresses the following research questions : (a) What are the various types of family structures that exist in urban African American households ? and (b) to what extent do differences in family structure influence social, psychological, and economic well - being as reported by urban African American women ? The authors present findings from 301 African American women who participated in a community - based nutrition prevention program in a large Midwestern urban center. This study's results indicate that family structure has more influence on African American women's economic well - being than do social and psychological factors. Implications of these findings for intervention are presented.
