Psychological distress will be computed as a composite of the PROMIS Depression and PROMIS Anxiety measures. We will use the computer adaptive version of both measures which have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. A composite will be computed by average across T-scores. T-scores range from 10 to 90 with higher scores indicating higher depression or anxiety.

The HM Index assesses qualities trained in the HMP app (awareness, connection, insight, purpose). It is scored on a 0- to 4-point Likert scale where 0 = a low amount (e.g., never, not at all, none of the time) and 4 = a higher amount (e.g., always, to the highest degree, all of the time) of a particular quality. There are 4 awareness items. Mean item scores are reported with a range from 0 to 4 where higher scores indicate more awareness.
