Summary

The goal of this pilot trial is to study the Brief Relationship Checkup (BRC) program for Veterans with a combination of mental health and relationship concerns.

BRC has been studied in Air Force primary care, but has never been tested in the Department of Veterans Affairs. To prepare for a larger study of BRC, the investigators asked the following questions:

1. Can the research team deliver BRC to Veterans with mental health concerns? ("Feasibility")
2. What is the best way to measure BRC's impact? ("Pilot Outcomes")
3. Does BRC fit the needs of Veterans, and if not, what changes would fit participants' needs? ("Refinement")

Participants completed an initial interview, attended the BRC program, and completed a follow-up interview.

Conditions

  • Relationship Distress

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief Relationship Checkup (BRC)

The investigators are using the three 30-minute session protocol developed for Air Force Primary Care (Cigrang et al., 2016). Although it is simply referred to as the "Marriage Checkup" in that manuscript, the investigators use the name BRC to distinguish it from many other versions of Dr. James Cordova's Marriage Checkup (Cordova, 2014) adapted for different settings. Sessions in this version are briefer than other versions (30 mins vs. 60-90 mins) and this trial does not have any eligibility restrictions based on marital status.
