Why do participants in the study complete interviews?
Participation in several research interviews is an important part of the project. The information obtained during these interviews will provide valuable data for doctors, psychologists, social workers, policymakers, and others who have mixed-status couples as clients. By completing interviews, couples are able to make a significant contribution to other people in their situation. The interviews also help us understand what works in the newly-developed program that is being tested, so that we can revise and modify it for future use.
