Efficacy of a Web-based Intervention for Concerned Spouses of Service Members and Veterans with Alcohol Misuse

Type
Summary

An examination of a web-based treatment approach for concerned partners of Service members and Veterans who misuse alcohol was conducted. Pre- and post-test data assessing mental health, communication, and conflict resolution skills were collected from two groups: those receiving the web-based training and a control group who did not complete the training. Results from the study suggest that web-based interventions may be a helpful option for concerned partners with help-seeking barriers or those lacking access to traditional care.
