Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mindfulness Intervention
Participants will engage with a mobile application to complete 21 sessions lasting approximately 11 minutes of mindfulness training over 6 weeks.
Mindfulness Training
Participants will be asked to complete 21 mindfulness sessions within the Calm app on their own time and at a location of their choosing. They will be instructed to complete the '7 Days of Calm' program within the first two weeks of the intervention, the '7 Days of Managing Stress' program during weeks 3 \& 4 of the intervention, and the 'Letting Go of Anxiety' program during the final two weeks of the intervention. The sessions have a mean run time of 11.76 minutes. Each 7-day program will be completed within a 2-week period, which equates to about one session every other day, but can be completed at any interval within those 2 weeks. All 21 sessions will be completed within a 6-week period.
