Group I: Treatment armActive Control1 Intervention
Treatment Arm: MR is an user-driven, dyadic, self-care management program developed with NIMH funding (R43/44) for use by Veterans and their selected partners, individually or together, to reduce pain and distress and support physical, mental, and relationship health. MR was designed for Veterans who face obstacles accessing formal mental health services. It can also be used to complement formal services. MR is a patient-centered intervention, allowing users to determine the pace at which to proceed in each program component. MR Content. The program provides video and audio instruction in a set of 11 evidence-based wellness.
Group II: Control armPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Usual Care Waitlist Control Arm: For ethical reasons, this study will use a waitlist control arm to ultimately provide all participants exposure to the MR intervention. Dyads in the control arm will participate in all assessments like those in the treatment group, however, they will be asked to agree to not access the public web site during their participation. Wait-list control participants will be instructed to seek advice about treatment from their providers. Other than this initial advice, there will be no attempt by study personnel to influence condition management unless an issue (i.e., suicidal ideation) arises. The control condition will account for potential temporal effects that occur from passage of time (brief), and expectation effects associated with anticipation of MR participation. The control group will receive access to MR after they complete data collection.
