Strong Couples Project: Online Relationship Education
This study is testing an online program called ePREP, which includes 6 sessions and coach calls, to help improve relationships. It's for couples who are married, engaged, or living together for at least 6 months and live in Illinois. Both partners need to be willing to participate online. The researchers want to see if ePREP can improve relationship satisfaction, make relationships more stable, and increase partner support. They will measure these things at the beginning, after the program (about 2 months later), and again 6 months after the start of the study. The study aims to enroll 500 couples, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
