What the study is about

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an adaptive web intervention (Partners Connect) on military spouse drinking behaviors (CPs) and service member help-seeking (SMs). The investigators want to identify for whom this intervention is most efficacious and on what drinking behaviors and mechanisms. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce concerned partner drinking and increase service member help-seeking, compared to website resources, and that phone-based CRAFT will increase help-seeking behaviors, compared to those who are guided via a CRAFT workbook.

Our outcome is to evaluate the efficacy of an adaptive CP intervention on CP well-being and service member help-seeking.

Being studied: CRAFT Web-Based Intervention; Phone-Based CRAFT; CRAFT Workbook; Gottman Self-Guided Resources

Conditions: Alcohol Abuse; Alcohol Use Disorder; Alcohol Drinking; Relations, Interpersonal; Military Family
