Study Summary

This trial tests whether an on-demand relationship education curriculum is as effective as an in-person one for recently incarcerated individuals.

Who is the study for?
The TYRO Couples Project Study is for adult men and women (18 years or older) who are currently incarcerated but within 9 months of being released in Ohio. It's not open to those who aren't close to release, minors, or people not in incarceration.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study compares two ways of delivering the TYRO Couples curriculum: one group gets it in-person while they're still inside (treatment group), and another gets it on-demand after release (control group). The goal is to see if there's a difference between these methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational services rather than medical interventions, traditional side effects associated with medications are not applicable here.
