Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Bodhi AIM
Participants randomized to the intervention arm will receive the Bodhi AIM meditation app.
Bodhi AIM (intervention group)
Bodhi AIM (Action In Mindfulness) is a smartphone-based app that teaches users to establish a daily meditation practice via a 30-day "path," with each day consisting of a brief audio- or video-guided file. In addition to the 30 daily path files, users have access to a menu of "to go" audio-guided meditation practices that they may access any time to prepare for particular situations (e.g., attending a party).
HIB
Participants randomized to the active control arm will receive the HIB health promotion app.
HIB (control group)
HIB (Health In Balance) is a smartphone-based app that is matched to Bodhi AIM for time and structure, but includes health promotion content (e.g., educational information on substance use) in place of the meditation content featured in Bodhi AIM. Like Bodhi AIM, HIB includes a 30-day "path" of audio and video files, along with a menu of "to go" audio files that users may access any time to review key intervention concepts.
