Trial Outcomes & Findings for Behavior, Biology and Well-Being Study (NCT NCT05183867)

NCT ID: NCT05183867

Last Updated: 2025-09-09

Results Overview

The PHQ-8 is an 8-item questionnaire where participants report how often in the past 2 weeks they were bothered by specific problems. It is scored on a 4-point Likert scale where 0 = not at all to 3 = nearly every day. The total possible range of scores is 0-24 where higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms.

Measure
Healthy Minds Program (HMP) App
Participants will receive access to the 4-week HMP Foundations module. The HMP app is a meditation-based smartphone app designed to promote and protect psychological well-being through sustainable skills training. The program is grounded in constituents of psychological well-being identified in empirical literature. HMP provides core content, with instruction administered through a curriculum of guided practices. HMP is based on research on eudaimonic well-being (e.g., environmental mastery, purpose) and brain-based skills that underlie these qualities (e.g., regulation of attention, mental flexibility). The full HMP has guided audio practices that address 4 constituents of well-being: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. At post-treatment, participants will be given access to additional HMP content to support their continued practice. Healthy Minds Program: HMP is a 4-week mobile health (mHealth) meditation training program.
Psychoeducation App
Participants will receive access to the 4-week HMP Foundations module with guided meditation practices removed. The active control will include only the didactic content included in HMP without the guided meditation practices. Healthy Minds Program: HMP is a 4-week mobile health (mHealth) meditation training program.
Usual Care
Participants will receive access to HMP at the end of the study and will be encouraged to continue with their usual care.

The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance scale is a computer-adaptive measure where participants report how often in the past 7 days they had various sleep-related experiences (e.g., "my sleep was restful"). It is scored on a 5-point Likert scale where 1 = not at all to 5 = very much. It provides total scores as T-scores (mean = 50, standard deviation (SD) = 10) where higher scores indicate more sleep disturbance.

The Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire is a 15-item scale where participants report their level of repetitive negative thinking (e.g., "My thoughts repeat themselves"). It is scored on a 5-point Likert scale where 0 = "never" to 4 = "almost always." Total scores range from 0 to 60 where higher scores indicate greater perseverative thinking.

Genetic analyses of the microbiome of the fecal sample (microorganism DNA, not that of the person) will be performed. Shannon Diversity Index quantifies both the richness and the evenness of a community. It takes into account the number of taxa (richness) and their relative abundances (evenness). A higher Shannon index value indicates greater diversity, with both a high number of taxa and more even distribution of abundances among them. It is often used to assess the balance between species in a community. Typically ranges from 0-5 with higher numbers indicating increasing species diversity.

Genetic analyses of the microbiome of the fecal sample (microorganism DNA, not that of the person) will be performed. Simpson is the probability that any two microbes are the same species, ranging from 0-1. Inverse Simpson (1 / Simpson) considers both richness and evenness. It places greater weight on the more abundant taxa. A higher inverse Simpson index suggests a more even distribution of taxa, with fewer dominant species. The inverse Simpson index is sensitive to the presence of dominant species and may emphasize diversity loss when one or a few species dominate the community.

Genetic analyses of the microbiome of the fecal sample (microorganism DNA, not that of the person) will be performed. Pielou Evenness Index measures how evenly the individuals are distributed across the taxa in a sample. It is calculated by dividing the Shannon diversity index by the maximum possible value of the Shannon index (which occurs when all taxa are equally abundant). The Pielou index ranges from 0 (no evenness, where one species dominates) to 1 (perfect evenness, where all species are equally abundant).

Data are reported in Action Unit 6 (AU6) of Facial Action Coding System (FACS). FACS is an anatomically-based system for describing facial movement, breaking facial expressions into individual muscle movements called Action Units (AUs).

Meditation training has the capacity to normalize the overgeneralized inflexible cognition endemic to depression, which is hypothesized to relate to alterations in the hippocampal-dependent process of pattern separation. The investigators will use a pattern separation task to evaluate hippocampal function. The Lure Discrimination Task (LDI) is the difference between the probability of giving a "Similar" response to the lure items (similar to target items) minus the probability of giving a "Similar" response to the foils (unrelated to target items). Larger differences indicate increased discrimination.

Timeframe: Baseline, week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4 (of intervention period), and 3 month follow-up

Population: Some participants did not provide data at all time-points.

Participants provide recordings of their voice while responding to a prompt that asks to share information about their day. These recordings provide the opportunity to explore indicators of self-referent, inflexible, \& over-generalized thinking within natural language. Reported here is the "I" self-referential word frequency.

The Treatment Expectancies is a 6-item scale assessing how much participants believed the training program was helpful to them. Items assess how participants think (e.g., "At this point, how logical does the program offered to you seem?") and feel (e.g., "At this point, how much do you really feel that the program helped you to reduce your stress symptoms?"). Items are scored on either a 9-point Likert scale (e.g., 1 = "not at all logical" to 9 = "very logical") or on a percentage ("At the end of the program, how much improvement in your symptoms do you really feel occurred?", 0% to 100%). Higher scores reflect higher treatment expectancies.

Participants will receive access to the 4-week HMP Foundations module. The HMP app is a meditation-based smartphone app designed to promote and protect psychological well-being through sustainable skills training. The program is grounded in constituents of psychological well-being identified in empirical literature. HMP provides core content, with instruction administered through a curriculum of guided practices. HMP is based on research on eudaimonic well-being (e.g., environmental mastery, purpose) and brain-based skills that underlie these qualities (e.g., regulation of attention, mental flexibility). The full HMP has guided audio practices that address 4 constituents of well-being: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. At post-treatment, participants will be given access to additional HMP content to support their continued practice.
