Agapé vs RAD Study

Using Agapé is as easy as answering just one question a day, but with a new person each time. Each question is based on decades of research and chosen specifically for you. Agapé’s questions are fun, exciting, and sometimes even spicey! But don’t worry, we will only send a spicy question if you're matched with your partner. Our questions will be personalized to your relationships. So you would get a different question with your mom than you would a friend or partner. Additionally, you’re only able to see each other’s response, once you have both responded. Although Agapé is easy and only takes a minute a day, it has a tremendous effect on relationships. 97% of users that we’ve surveyed report Agapé positively affecting their relationships. In addition to the personalization done by our question algorithm, you can further personalize your experience by opting into dozens of optional categories. Such as: - LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP Example: What do you miss most about your partner when you are not together? - RECONNECTING Example: Share a small accomplishment you've made recently that you're proud of yourself for achieving. - CHECKING IN Example: What do you currently wish you had more time for? - ENGAGED Example: If you could make a special wedding vow to your partner that only he or she would hear, what would it be? - RELIGIOUS Example: What is a book, reading, passage or verse that had a profound impact on your own path? - MANAGING FINANCES Example: What are some of your biggest financial goals or aspirations? - PARENTING Example: What is one of the ways your partner really impresses you as a parent? - PREGNANCY Example: What are you most excited about after the baby comes? And more! WHY AGAPÉ? Agapé [ah-gah-pay] is a Greek word for unconditional love. At Agapé we believe love is everything. It’s the foundation of all things good in humanity, the catalyst for societal progress, and the nucleus of human desire. That’s why we’ve created a relationship wellness app to make it easy for you to feel + show love. WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP WELLNESS? Relationship wellness is the process of actively shifting your mindset, making choices, and pursuing activities to strengthen and enrich your relationships, both romantic, familial, and platonic. A common misconception is that relationship wellness is best suited for those who are experiencing some sort of dysfunction. But just like the gym isn't exclusive to individuals who are out of shape, relationship wellness should never be limited to individuals who have relationship issues. Everyone should be actively practicing relationship wellness. Agapé makes it both easy AND fun. IS AGAPÉ FREE? Agapé is free to download and free to use.

The purpose of this research study is to characterize the broader environmental and social context in which the experience of victimization leads to high-risk alcohol drinking in college populations. This study will allow for a better understanding of the causal pathways between environmental and social exposures and high-risk alcohol use among college students. High-risk alcohol consumption is a serious health problem among college students that leads to many physical, emotional, social, and cognitive consequences, including death. Recently, 38% of college students reported engaging in binge drinking in the last month and 11.4% reported heavy alcohol use. Alcohol use has been associated with violent victimization, bullying, and discrimination, all of which are contextual social exposures. The data we collect will help us better understand the causal pathways between environmental and social predictors and high-risk alcohol use among college students. We plan to use these data to 1) Characterize the activity spaces of college students and examine how they are correlated with contextual environmental and social exposures, and alcohol use behaviors; 2) Examine the direct associations between (a) environmental (i.e., place-based exposures including physical disorder, crime/violence, alcohol outlets, social disorder) and (b) social contexts (i.e., violent victimization, bullying, and discrimination) and high-risk alcohol drinking among college students; and 3) Assess moderation by gender and race/ethnicity and mediation by potential psychosocial variables in the relationship between contextual (a) environmental and (b) social exposures and high-risk alcohol drinking. This new knowledge will provide the information needed to develop appropriate and effective interventions aimed at reducing high-risk alcohol drinking among college students.
