Two dimensions of "strong families," family processes and family relationships, yield a broad array of constructs that influence child outcomes. Including these constructs in new survey instruments makes it possible to assess patterns, trends, and disparities in family strengths in different types of family environments. The article reviews previous research on the relationship between each construct and child well-being, examines how children and adolescents live with families that possess these strengths, and suggests ways to increase our understanding of family strengths and develop selected measures for incorporation into ongoing surveys.
