First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether an on-demand version of the TYRO Couples program works as well as the in-person version for incarcerated people nearing release. 820 participants were randomly assigned to either format. Researchers measured employment and financial attitudes six months later to see if the delivery method made a difference.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that flexible on-demand delivery works as well as in-person sessions, making it easier to serve more couples.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 820 participants, but it only measures attitudes, not long-term behavior. Results may not apply to other settings or populations.
