ABSTRACT
Relationship education (RE) has shown promise as an effective intervention for couples. Yet, challenges exist with retaining low-income couples and federal funding required that grantees provide at least 12 h of core content. We conducted a follow-up analysis to a randomized trial of RE with low-income couples. We focused on couples randomly assigned to the treatment (N = 579) and examined the influence of intervention hours on emotion regulation, dyadic coping, and individual distress at 1 and 6-month follow-up. Results of longitudinal actor-partner interdependence models indicated that women who completed the program reported fewer difficulties in emotion regulation at 6-month follow-up than women who attended fewer intervention hours. Additionally, men who completed reported more individual distress at 1-month follow-up than men who attended fewer hours. Given that most couples were Hispanic, we conducted an exploratory analysis to examine language as a covariate with mixed results.
