Brief Summary:
Alcohol misuse is a prevalent and serious problem with significant harms to society individuals and their relationships Romantic partners have a strong influence on their partners behavior uniquely positioning them as a motivator and supportive factor in changing their partners alcohol use but little evidence exists on the specific ways they can influence their partner The impact this has on the quality of their relationship communication and overall well-being has yet to be explored Thus this study utilizes qualitative quantitative and ecological momentary assessment EMA data from both partners to develop a web-based intervention that applies communication-based personalized feedback to support the concerned partner CP in motivating their drinking partner DP to reduce drinking and other adverse relationship outcomes
Detailed Description:
Previous research by our team and others has shown that certain CP responses to their DPs drinking eg using punishment such as expressing anger or sarcasm or threatening to leave lead to increased DP drinking and poorer relationship functioning Effective CP communication may affect fluctuations in DP drinking but its mechanism is poorly understood Limitations of prior research include long intervals between data collection points and lack of real-time dyadic dataThe proposed project will use EMA and dyadic data to identify specific CP behaviors that elicit andor inhibit DP drinking which will directly inform a CP-focused intervention CP-focused interventions such as Community Reinforcement and Family Therapy CRAFT encourage CP positive communication and reinforcement as important tools in promoting the DPs treatment entry The DPs of CPs receiving CRAFT are 2-3 times more likely to enter alcohol treatment compared with Al-Anon or Johnson interventions and CRAFT is also effective in improving CP mental health and relationship functioning However CRAFT is time- and resource-intensive ie 12 in-person sessions limiting access for CPs who lack time or are hesitant to seek help The proposed study aims to adapt CRAFT as a new WBI developed for a community sample of CPs In contrast to the goals of CRAFT that focus on DP treatment entry our WBI goals focus on outcomes that may be more proximal to treatment initiation and more attainable with a WBI including improved DP drinking CP mental health and relationship functioning In doing so we also target DPs with a continuum of drinking severity including those who may not need treatment Using EMA findings that elucidate communication strategies that influence DP drinking the WBI will include psychoeducation on interaction patterns commonly associated with DP drinking and personalized feedback based on CP baseline data to support changes in CP communication strategies This research addresses an important problem of mitigating the adverse impact of alcohol misuse on individuals and their families The expected outcome of this research is to leverage CP influence into an accessible theoretically-informed intervention that will help CPs more effectively communicate with their DP for improvements to their DPs drinking behavior their own well-being and their relationship functioning
