Web-based and Phone-based Support for Military Families Facing Alcohol Use Disorder

This study is looking at different ways to help military families dealing with alcohol use disorder (AUD). It's testing web-based programs called CRAFT Web-Based Intervention and Partners Connect, as well as Phone-Based CRAFT and a CRAFT Workbook. These programs aim to help concerned partners (CPs) reduce their own drinking and encourage service members (SMs) to seek help for AUD. The study wants to see which approaches work best and for whom. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, live with your military partner, are not in the military yourself, and meet certain criteria for alcohol use. The researchers hope these interventions will lower partner drinking and increase service members seeking help.
