About

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate an intervention aimed at increasing the support leaders in the National Guard provide to their subordinates to promote mental health and well-being and reduce risk factors. Survey data will be collected from leaders, service members (SMs) and spouse/partners to evaluate the training effectiveness.

The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate efficacy in the NG, including effects on leaders, SMs, and spouse/partners on the following outcomes:

H1: Leaders in the intervention group will demonstrate significant improvements in digital learning effects from pre-test to post-test.

H2: The intervention will significantly decrease SM and Leader reports of problematic anger, loneliness, and psychological distress 6-months and then 12-months post-baseline.

H3: Spouses/partners of SMs in the intervention group will report decreases in problematic anger, loneliness, and psychological distress at 6 and 12 months.

Researchers will compare those in the training intervention group to a wait-list control group.

The leadership training builds on a training evaluated in a previous RCT (NCT04152824) adapting from active duty Army to National Guard, including Air NG, and adding an additional facilitated session component. The intervention will include: (1) a 1-hour digital learning utilizing an interactive and self-paced computer-based training, (2) an behavior tracking exercise, and (3) a 1-hour facilitated session, approximately one month later.

Wait-list Control

No Intervention group

Description:
