The Feasibility of a Web Intervention For Military and Veteran Spouses Concerned About Their Partner's Alcohol Misuse

Type
Summary

A number of US military Service Members and Veterans experience heavy drinking which may impair their military readiness. A civilian-based Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) intervention was adapted into a 4-session web-based intervention to provide an accessible intervention for Service members' and Veterans' concerned partners. Findings showed improvements in both communication and management of the partner's drinking after completion of the web-based intervention.
