Clinical Trial Summary

We will recruit sexual and gender minority couples to complete 56 days of daily surveys in order to evaluate (1) the impact of COVID-19 stress and sexual and gender minority stress on heavy episodic drinking and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration, and (2) a brief, mobile-phone delivered text messaging intervention to mitigate the effects of these stressors. This project has high potential to inform how pandemic stress contributes to etiological models of alcohol-related IPV perpetration in sexual and gender minority couples and inform a culturally-sensitive, low burden, and easy to disseminate intervention to mitigate these effects critical during a pandemic when access to care is limited.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
CBT Text Messaging
Over a 14 day period, participants will receive two text messages per day (one at 8 a.m. and one at 4 p.m.). They will receive hourly reminders for four hours or until the message is read. Participants receive the same messages in the same order, with content equally distributed across the four content areas (i.e., psychoeducation regarding effects of stress, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, alcohol reduction).
Attention Control Text Messaging
Over a 14 day period, participants will receive two text messages per day (one at 8 a.m. and one at 4 p.m.). They will receive hourly reminders for four hours or until the message is read. Participants receive the same messages in the same order. All texts will be supportive messages which express empathy and unconditional positive regard and provide support for dealing with stressors. These messages will be nondirective and will not include any CBT skill suggestions.
