Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mindfulness training
Participants will listen to one to two 3-30 minute audio recordings each day for 4 weeks between study visits (28 days total) through the Healthy Minds @Work smartphone app and record when they listen to each recording on a paper log. The app will also collect data on which recordings, when, and for how long participants listen.
Mindfulness training
Brief audio recordings discussing mindfulness or guided mindfulness practices.
Tracking time spent on mobile device
Participants will record how much time they estimate they have spent on their phone in the past 24 hours, each day for 4 weeks (28 days total) between study visits.
Tracking time spent on mobile device
Participants will record each day how much time they estimate they spent on their smart phone in the past 24 hours.
