简要总结
This study is testing a program called Get Better Together, a relationship education program designed to help military couples effectively navigate life stressors as a team. The goal is to find out if attending Get Better Together improves mental health and relationship skills, and reduces problems like alcohol misuse, aggression, and suicide risk. Couples who join the study will be randomly placed into one of two groups. One group will attend Get Better Together at a weekend retreat. The other group will continue their usual activities and later receive access to an online relationship education program. All participants will complete surveys before the retreat and again 2, 4, and 6 months later.

结局指标
主要结局
Suicide Cognitions
时间窗: Baseline, 2-month, 4-month, and 6-month follow-up
Assessed using the Suicide Cognition Scale-Revised (SCS-R), a 16-item validated self-report measure capturing cognitive risk factors for suicidal behavior. Scores range from 0 to 64, with higher scores reflect greater risk.
Alcohol Misuse
时间窗: Baseline, 2-month, 4-month, and 6-month follow-up
Measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), a 3-item measure designed to identify hazardous drinking. Scores range from 0 to 12, with higher scores reflect greater likelihood of drinking affecting one's health and safety.
Intimate Partner Violence
时间窗: Baseline, 2-month, 4-month, and 6-month follow-up
Measured using the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale-Short Form (CTS2S), a 20-item measure assessing multiple types of relationship abuse. Dichotomous scores will indicate the presence of any form of abuse. Dichotomous subscale scores will indicate the presence of assault, injury, psychological aggression, or sexual coercion.
