 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）： 该项目将开发并进行试点测试，以增强的电话“教练”干预措施，以帮助家庭成员关注伊拉克或阿富汗战争的退伍军人，他们需要为滥用药物问题寻求治疗。这种基于电话的教练干预是基于目前在VA中使用的现有教练策略，该策略可帮助家庭成员与老兵谈论他们寻求护理的决定，并帮助退伍军人在这位退伍军人愿意获得帮助时找到正确的治疗计划。这种增强的策略是基于一种面对面的治疗方法，该方法获得了足够的研究支持，但将以网站上的教育形式介绍。电话教练将与使用此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于与退伍军人的关系，并为该家庭成员提供支持。该项目将是一个较大项目的第一步，旨在测试这种增强的教练干预策略是否比当前使用的策略更好。这些方法将解决我们最新退伍军人的家庭成员支持者的重要重新集成问题，以帮助他们的家庭中的老兵做出决定，以寻求滥用药物的问题。
