Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

We recruited 8 Black American adults to participate in this multiple baseline study. In a multiple-baseline design, one takes repeated measurements of one's outcomes of interest across time, and subsequently compares these outcomes of interest between an initial baseline control period with no intervention and a subsequent intervention period. This is a within-subjects study design for which participants serve as their own control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Multiple-baseline study

All participants in this study received the same protocol. First, we had a baseline control period (no intervention) during which we assessed state anxiety levels every two minutes. Subsequently, we administered the intervention and continued to assess state anxiety at two minute intervals. Participants were randomized to baseline periods that varied in length (10,12,14, or 16 minutes of baseline).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention consists of pre-composed and pre-recorded guided meditations, songs, and poems that total 25 minutes in duration. The elements of the intervention were set to background music tracks that were informed by Black diasporic music traditions and anxiety reduction principles from the music therapy literature.
