 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop and pilot test an enhanced, telephone "coaching" intervention to help family members concerned about a Veteran of the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan who needs to seek treatment for a substance abuse problem. This telephone-based coaching intervention is based on an existing coaching strategy currently in use in VA that helps family members talk to a Veteran about their decisions to seek care and helps the Veteran find the right treatment program when this Veteran becomes willing to get help. This enhanced strategy is based on a face-to-face treatment method that has received ample research support, but will be presented in an educational format on a website. The telephone coaching will work with the family member who uses this web-based program, helping them apply the lessons in an individualized way to their own relationship with the Veteran, and also provides support to this family member. This project will be a first step in a larger project meant to test whether this enhanced coaching intervention strategy is better than those currently in use. These methods will address an important reintegration concern of family member supporters of our newest Veterans-how to help the Veteran in their family to make decisions to seek care for a substance abuse problem.

 描述(由申请人提供)： 该项目将开发和试点一种增强的电话“辅导”干预措施，以帮助担心伊拉克或阿富汗战争老兵因药物滥用问题而需要寻求治疗的家庭成员。这种基于电话的指导干预基于退伍军人管理局目前使用的一种现有指导策略，该策略帮助家庭成员与退伍军人谈论他们寻求护理的决定，并在退伍军人愿意接受帮助时帮助退伍军人找到合适的治疗方案。这一改进的战略基于面对面的治疗方法，这种方法已经得到了充分的研究支持，但将以教育形式在网站上展示。电话辅导将与使用这个基于网络的程序的家庭成员合作，帮助他们以个性化的方式将课程应用到自己与退伍军人的关系中，并为该家庭成员提供支持。这个项目将是一个更大的项目的第一步，该项目旨在测试这种增强的教练干预策略是否比目前使用的策略更好。这些方法将解决我们最新退伍军人的家庭成员支持者关心的一个重要问题--如何帮助他们的家庭中的退伍军人做出决定，寻求药物滥用问题的治疗。
