Participant Flow

Prior to being randomized, patients had to complete all baseline activities, which included two months of counting to establish a baseline adherence measure. During this interval, 6 patients withdrew from the study. Thus, 44 patients were randomized (24 to health coaching arm, and 20 to the mindfulness training arm).

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Mindfulness Training (MT)
Eight, 30-minute phone delivered MT sessions once a week for 8 weeks Mindfulness Training (MT): Participants assigned to the MT condition will receive a phone-delivered 30-minute mindfulness training once a week for 8 weeks. ). In addition to the weekly training session, participants will be instructed to practice mindfulness techniques for 15 minutes daily using a standardized audio recording to guide the participant through the techniques learned with the instructor.
Health Coaching (HC)
Eight, 30-minute phone delivered HC sessions once a week for 8 weeks Health Coaching (HC): The HC condition will consist of educational modules designed to control for the contact time and attention received in the MT condition. To match the time MT participants will spend doing mindfulness exercises at home, HC participants will be assigned a 15-minute daily activity that is aligned with the HC topics
