Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the preliminary effects of an 8-week mobile application-based program (SupportGroove) developed for persons with spinal cord injury and their romantic partners.

Detailed description

Eligible couples who provide informed consent will be enrolled in the study and will be randomized to either immediately start the 8-week SupportGroove program or be waitlisted for 8-weeks before starting the program. While actively participating in the program, couples will use the app to engage in daily "quests" (positive psychology-based activities to be completed on their own or as a couple). Both partners in the participating couple complete self-report assessments at baseline (0 weeks), 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 28 weeks.
