Brief MBI
The brief MBI consists of four weekly group sessions that are two hours each and one all day mediation retreat. Brief MBI: The brief MBI consists of four weekly group sessions that are two hours each and one all day mediation retreat. The rationale for testing the short MBI is to evaluate a low-dose (8 hours of contact) MBI that optimizes cost-effectiveness and minimizes patient burden.
Standard MBI
The standard MBI consists of eight weekly group sessions that are approximately two hours each and one all day meditation retreat. Standard MBI: The standard MBI consists of eight weekly group sessions that are approximately two hours each and one all day meditation retreat. The length of this package is based on the standard length of MBSR as an 8-week program. The rationale for testing the standard MBI is to provide a comparison to a dose (16 hours of contact) that is most similar to the length of MBSR and has the fewest modifications, making it easier to train MBI providers.
Extended MBI
The extended MBI consists of four weekly group sessions followed by four group sessions every other week over the course of 12 weeks, with optional "office hours"in between the bi-weekly group sessions and one all day meditation retreat. Extended MBI: The extended MBI consists of four weekly group sessions followed by four group sessions every other week over the course of 12 weeks. Each group session will be two hours. The group sessions will be identical to the standard package except for the timing (every other week) of the last four sessions. In addition to the group sessions, the MBI provider will offer "office hours" in between the bi-weekly group sessions, where participants will be able to schedule individual sessions with the MBI provider to discuss questions and troubleshoot their mindfulness practice. In addition, participants will receive an all-day meditation retreat, similar to the other conditions. The rationale for testing the extended MBI is to optimize acceptability and uptake based on the investigator's preliminary data by allowing for a slower, extended pace of learning mindfulness practices with an opportunity to have individual discussions with the instructor (16 hours of contact + individual office hours).

The SCS assesses the acquisition of self-compassion. It is a 26-item self report measure with three main components of self-compassion: self-kindness vs. self-judgement, common humanity vs. isolation, and mindfulness vs. over-identification. The total score ranges from 1-5, with higher scores reflecting more self-compassion.

The FFMQ assesses the acquisition of mindfulness skills. It is a 39-item self-report measure that consists of five factors representing elements of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience. Total scores range from 39-195, with higher scores reflecting more mindfulness.

Timeframe: Baseline to post-treatment (Brief MBI 4 weeks, Standard MBI 8 weeks, Extended MBI 12 weeks)

Population: Post-treatment scores not available for participants who did not complete the assessment

Measures anxiety symptoms using Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) with higher scores reflecting more anxiety symptoms (worse outcome). Population mean (T-score) of 50 with a standard deviation of 10.

The brief MBI consists of four weekly group sessions that are two hours each and one all day mediation retreat. Brief MBI: The brief MBI consists of four weekly group sessions that are two hours each and one all day mediation retreat. The rationale for testing the short MBI is to evaluate a low-dose (8 hours of contact) MBI that optimizes cost-effectiveness and minimizes patient burden.
Standard MBI
n=20 Participants
The standard MBI consists of eight weekly group sessions that are approximately two hours each and one all day meditation retreat. Standard MBI: The standard MBI consists of eight weekly group sessions that are approximately two hours each and one all day meditation retreat. The length of this package is based on the standard length of MBSR as an 8-week program. The rationale for testing the standard MBI is to provide a comparison to a dose (16 hours of contact) that is most similar to the length of MBSR and has the fewest modifications, making it easier to train MBI providers.
Extended MBI
n=20 Participants
The extended MBI consists of four weekly group sessions followed by four group sessions every other week over the course of 12 weeks, with optional "office hours"in between the bi-weekly group sessions and one all day meditation retreat. Extended MBI: The extended MBI consists of four weekly group sessions followed by four group sessions every other week over the course of 12 weeks. Each group session will be two hours. The group sessions will be identical to the standard package except for the timing (every other week) of the last four sessions. In addition to the group sessions, the MBI provider will offer "office hours" in between the bi-weekly group sessions, where participants will be able to schedule individual sessions with the MBI provider to discuss questions and troubleshoot their mindfulness practice. In addition, participants will receive an all-day meditation retreat, similar to the other conditions. The rationale for testing the extended MBI is to optimize acceptability and uptake based on the investigator's preliminary data by allowing for a slower, extended pace of learning mindfulness practices with an opportunity to have individual discussions with the instructor (16 hours of contact + individual office hours).
