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.
