Examining intervention hours attended for couples randomly assigned to receive relationship education.
Journal of marital and family therapy(2023)
摘要
Relationship education (RE) has shown promise as an effective intervention for couples. Yet, challenges exist with retaining low-income couples and federal funding required that grantees provide at least 12 h of core content. We conducted a follow-up analysis to a randomized trial of RE with low-income couples. We focused on couples randomly assigned to the treatment (N = 579) and examined the influence of intervention hours on emotion regulation, dyadic coping, and individual distress at 1 and 6-month follow-up. Results of longitudinal actor-partner interdependence models indicated that women who completed the program reported fewer difficulties in emotion regulation at 6-month follow-up than women who attended fewer intervention hours. Additionally, men who completed reported more individual distress at 1-month follow-up than men who attended fewer hours. Given that most couples were Hispanic, we conducted an exploratory analysis to examine language as a covariate with mixed results.
