  The OurRelationship program is approximately 8-10 hours of online content and will delivered over the course of 5-8 weeks. For the current study, we have tailored the general OurRelationship content for couples in recovery from substance misuse. For example, all users receive informational material on the nature of addition and recovery. All of the videos in the adapted program depict couples struggling with recovery-related issues. Additionally, the assessments and feedback content has been tailored. In addition to the online content, couples receive up to 100 minutes of scheduled coach Zoom calls (up to five 20-minute calls).

Study Details

This study tests the effectiveness of an online relationship program that has been tailored for couples in which one or both members are in recovery from substance misuse. The purpose of this program is to strengthen the romantic relationship and improve individual functioning. Couples participate in approximately 8 hours of digital content (on their phone or computer) and have a total of five calls with a project coach. Couples will be asked to complete online surveys before and after the program and are paid $200 per couple ($100 per individual) for doing so.
