Empirically supported couple interventions often transfer from the US to several other parts of the world yet we have little data on their final reach. This study investigated relationship help-seeking in a random population sample of 1,371 individuals living with a partner in Denmark, a European high income - high divorce country. Only a small fraction of respondents had ever sought couple education (3%) or counseling/therapy (7%) with their partner. Among respondents experiencing a severe relationship crisis, individual types of help-seeking were the most prevalent. Both women (38.9%) and men (27.8%) with a recent relationship crisis sought information online, and mostly women (19.4%) also sought individual therapy. Findings can inform strategies for increasing the reach of couples in new cultural contexts.
实证支持的夫妻干预措施通常从美国转移到世界其他几个地区，但我们对它们的最终影响范围知之甚少。本研究调查了丹麦一个随机的有伴侣的 1371 人样本中的关系求助情况，丹麦是一个欧洲高收入-高离婚率国家。只有一小部分受访者曾与伴侣一起寻求过夫妻教育（3%）或咨询/治疗（7%）。在经历严重关系危机的受访者中，个体寻求帮助的类型最为普遍。有近期关系危机的女性（38.9%）和男性（27.8%）都在网上寻求信息，大多数女性（19.4%）也寻求个体治疗。研究结果可以为在新的文化背景下扩大夫妻群体的服务范围提供策略。
