Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Compassion Intervention
Compassion Intervention
The compassion intervention is a single-session 40-min intervention in which the participants practiced soothing rhythm breathing (i.e., they are directed to slow their breathing using a five-count inhale and five-count exhale). They will then be provided didactic instruction on compassion, and will then be guided through an experiential compassion practice adapted that encompasses cultivating feelings of compassion for a loved one and then for oneself.
