Study Summary
This study compares two approaches to working with Veterans that have a mix of mental health and relationship concerns in primary care. One approach is a 3-session couple-based program called the Brief Relationship Checkup (BRC). BRC has shown promise improving relationship health in Air Force primary care (including some mental health symptoms related to relationship functioning) but has never been tested for individuals with significant mental health concerns. The other approach is a high-quality delivery of three sessions of Co-Located Collaborative Care (CCC) with the Screened Veteran only. This program is the current standard of care for Veterans reporting mental health concerns in primary care (including mental health concerns related to their relationship) but has never been tested for individuals struggling with relationship concerns. The goal is to compare the benefits of the couples-based program vs. the individual-based program when it comes to reducing suicide risk factors at the relationship level and the individual level.
Primary Outcome
Relationship Functioning will be measured using the Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI). The self-report scale has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 161 with higher scores representing more satisfying relationships and scores \< 104.5 classified as "distressed." The CSI is widely used in couple therapy research and is used routinely in VA care to evaluate Veterans' progress in evidence-based couple therapies. Analyses will compare relationship functioning across both Screened Veterans and their Partn
