NCT ID: NCT06422299 Not yet recruiting - Alcohol Drinking Clinical Trials

Developing and Testing an Online Intervention for Alcohol and Cannabis Misuse and Healthy Relationship Skills Among Young Adult Couples

Start date: July 15, 2026
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and test a brief online intervention to reduce alcohol and cannabis misuse and improve healthy relationship skills among young adult couples. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the intervention be feasible and acceptable to young adult couples? - Will the intervention demonstrate initial efficacy in reducing risky substance use and increasing relationship functioning? Eligible couples will complete a virtual baseline session and be randomized to intervention condition (online intervention with 3-5 weeks of self-paced modules) or control condition (no intervention). Couples will complete two follow-up surveys (post-assessment - approximately 5 weeks after baseline, 3-month). Couples in the control condition will be offered the intervention after 3-month follow-up. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if there there is a difference between the groups on substance misuse and relationship functioning at post-assessment and 3-month follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT06172907 Recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

A Dyadic Intervention for Young Adult Patients With Cancer and Their Partner Caregivers

YAD
Start date: April 19, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief psychotherapy intervention to improve psychosocial coping and maintain couple relationships among young adults (aged 25-39) with cancer and their caregiving partners.

NCT ID: NCT05786157 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Alcohol Use Disorder

Advancing Couple and Family Alcohol Treatment Through Patient-Oriented Research and Mentorship

Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health problem that results in significant health and economic burdens including mortality, morbidity, and poor treatment outcomes. A well-developed field of research suggests that alcohol misuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can lead to IPV. Individuals with PTSD and/or problematic drinking behaviors are at risk for IPV because of several factors that are common symptoms of PTSD. Because individuals with PTSD often drink alcohol to "self-medicate" or cope with distressing PTSD symptoms, PTSD co-occurs with alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorder at extraordinarily high rates. However, few studies have examined the combined effects of alcohol misuse and PTSD on any form of violence. This study will examine the effects of alcohol misuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on alcohol-related intimate partner violence (IPV). We will examine these associations among couples (N=70) in a controlled laboratory setting using validated, standardized methods in a 'real-world' settings using 28 days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA).

NCT ID: NCT05374798 Active, not recruiting - Alcohol Abuse Clinical Trials

Wearable Technology and Alcohol-Facilitated Intimate Partner Violence

START
Start date: January 27, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project seeks to develop interactive treatment options to successfully reduce AUD and IPV concurrently. The purpose of the study is to examine the usability, feasibility, and acceptability of wearable activity trackers (like a smart watch) and use of a cell phone application (app) among couples. The investigators are also testing the use of this device and app will affect alcohol use and couple conflict. This study involves a screening phase and a 28 observation period where participants are asked to wear a smart watch, complete assessments and provide feedback.

NCT ID: NCT05359185 Recruiting - Couples Clinical Trials

Empowering Families Project

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This RCT will test the marginal benefit of adding economic-focused services to traditional relationship education (RE) interventions. 344 couples will be randomly assigned to the RE only or RE plus economic-services condition. All couples will be assessed at baseline, 6-weeks, 6-months, and 12-months. This project will examine whether couples in the RE plus condition have better relationship and economic outcomes than couples in the RE only condition.

NCT ID: NCT05267236 Recruiting - Couples Clinical Trials

TYRO Couples Project Study

Start date: April 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study uses an RCT design with repeated measures to test the impact of two different delivery formats for the TYRO Couples curriculum. Eligible study participants are males or females who are at least 18 years of age and within 9 months of release from incarceration. Incarcerated participants randomly assigned to the treatment group receive the TYRO Couples curriculum in-person, whereas those assigned to the comparison group experience an on-demand format. Study results that show no discernable differences in outcomes between groups will make it easier to serve more participants because service delivery formats can accommodate different life circumstances and preferences.

NCT ID: NCT05194683 Not yet recruiting - Couples Clinical Trials

The Effects of Relational Letter Writing

Start date: June 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective of this research is to explore the relational letter writing technique as an intervention for improving couples' relational well-being. This is a two-arm superiority randomized clinical trial. Sixty-eight couples will be monitored before, during, and after the intervention. To observe the effect of the relational letter, scores of couples who are in the intervention arm and control arm will be compared (between groups) as well as pre-post scores (within-group). The content of the letter writing will be qualitatively analyzed to explore the reconstruction of their ethical values. Results from both methods will be integrated in order to get an in-depth perspective of the newly developed intervention. It is expected to increase the array of available techniques to help couples improve their individual and relational well-being.

NCT ID: NCT04845542 Recruiting - Stroke Clinical Trials

Promoting Resilience in Stroke Survivor-carepartner Dyads (ReStoreD)

ReStoreD
Start date: July 20, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Affecting nearly 800,000 people in the US every year, stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and has serious consequences for stroke survivors and their carepartners. Our project uses a scientifically rigorous efficacy study to evaluate a remotely delivered 8-week dyadic (couples-based) positive psychology intervention to reduce emotional distress in stroke survivors and their carepartners. If successful, couples may be better emotionally equipped to cope with the sequelae of stroke, and have better rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life.

A control group of couples will serve as a baseline. The study will bring knowledge about the participants experiences with the G7P and the effectiveness of the course on improving the couple relationship.
