Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

Change in Dyadic Adjustment from baseline to the end of the course
The Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS - (Busby et al., 1995) is a self-report questionnaire with 14 items. The three sub-scales (Consensus, Satisfaction and Cohesion) and the Total-scale will be used as outcome measures The min and max values are: Consensus \[0-30\] Satisfaction \[0-20\] Cohesion \[0-19\] Total scale \[0-69\] Higher values indicate better adjustment and clinical cut-off has been identified at 47.31 for the total scale, indicating a level of severity equal to what is found in clinical samples (persons seeking couple therapy).
Before the course start (Baseline, t0) and within one week after the last day of the course (t1)
Change in Dyadic Adjustment from the end of the course to 6 months after the course
