  • Partners Connect is a web-based intervention for spouses of Service members/Veterans (SM/Vs) aimed at reducing their own and their SM/V’s problematic drinking behaviors (i.e., drinks per week, drinking days per week, and frequency of heavy drinking episodes). At preintervention, 161 spouses reported on their own and their SM/V’s drinking behaviors prior to being randomized into either the intervention (n = 99) or the waitlist control group (n = 62). All spouses reported on their own and their SM/V’s drinking behaviors again at 3 months postintervention. Spouses who cut back on their drinks per week and drinking days per week generally perceived reductions in their SM/V’s number of drinks and drinking days per week.
