This study investigates how divorce followed by single parenthood undermines the long term physical health of rural nothers using four waves of survey data collected in iowa, USA from 336 married and 80 divorced mother during a 10 year period. Findings generally support the hypothesized pathways in that single parenthood creates financial difficulties or rural mothers. Furthermore, this financial adversity is linked to self assessed physical health trajectories that then contribute to change in morbidity. This reflects the developmental course of morbidity during the middle years. Methodologically, this extends excisting research on the association betwen women's marital status and well being by explicitly examining individual trajectories of change in family financial strain and physical health, as well as by examining the dynamic association between both during the middle years.
