Proximal Effects of Alcohol on Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence (PASSION)
January 3, 2024 updated by: Dominic Parrott, Georgia State University
We will recruit sexual and gender minority couples to complete 56 days of daily surveys in order to evaluate (1) the impact of COVID-19 stress and sexual and gender minority stress on heavy episodic drinking and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration, and (2) a brief, mobile-phone delivered text messaging intervention to mitigate the effects of these stressors.
This project has high potential to inform how pandemic stress contributes to etiological models of alcohol-related IPV perpetration in sexual and gender minority couples and inform a culturally-sensitive, low burden, and easy to disseminate intervention to mitigate these effects critical during a pandemic when access to care is limited.

Over a 14 day period, participants will receive two text messages per day (one at 8 a.m. and one at 4 p.m.).
They will receive hourly reminders for four hours or until the message is read.
Participants receive the same messages in the same order.
All texts will be supportive messages which express empathy and unconditional positive regard and provide support for dealing with stressors.
These messages will be nondirective and will not include any CBT skill suggestions.

Experimental: No Intervention, CBT Texts (AC)
Participants do not receive text messages during Interval 2. Participants receive CBT text messages during Interval 3.
