Relationship, Marital Clinical Trial
Official title:
Empirically-Based Couple Interventions on the Web: Serving the Underserved
Although several empirically-supported interventions to prevent and treat relationship
distress have been developed, the majority of couples - especially high-risk couples - do not
seek these face-to-face interventions. However, our pilot data indicate that large numbers of
couples will seek self-administered assistance for their relationship. Additionally, unlike
many in-person interventions, couples seeking self-help resources tend to have higher levels
of relationship distress. Thus, to improve the reach of couple interventions, this project
will translate a leading empirically-supported intervention targeting early signs of
relationship distress into a Web-based format. This intervention will consist of
individualized feedback and professionally-filmed video clips tailored to a couple's specific
needs. By intervening effectively with a large number of couples, the resulting Web-based
intervention has the potential to have a population-level impact on relationship distress,
divorce, and resulting child difficulties.
In the proposed project, building off our previous pilot studies, effective translation of
this in-person intervention into a Web-based format will be ensured by conducting two
additional intensive pilot studies. Once final changes have been made to the website and
Web-based intervention, 300 couples will be randomly assigned to a wait-list control group or
an online intervention. All couples will be assessed for the initial two months; intervention
couples will be assessed for one year. This project will: 1) demonstrate that couples
randomly assigned to the online intervention will report higher levels of individual, child,
and relationship functioning than those in the wait-list control group; 2) document the
mechanisms of both active conditions; and 3) show that initial gains in those assigned to the
intervention are largely maintained through one-year follow-up.
