"Up-Armoring At-Risk Military Couples: A Stepped Approach to Early Intervention and Strengthening of Military Families"

"The online version of ARMOR comprised three core components. The first was an MI-based relationship check-up with a brief relationship assessment. In the second component, SMs chose relationship improvement domains from a list of 10 topic areas or modules and watched a short (5-7 minute) video on their chosen area providing (a) evidence-based or evidence-informed psychoeducation, (b) modeling of skills, and (c) practice of the skills. For the third component, SMs were asked MI's key question (i.e., What's the next step? Miller \& Rollnick, 2023) and, if desired, completed a planning module where they were given the opportunity to create a personalized action plan (specifying how they might test any planned changes to see if they had the desired impact)."
