Mindfulness Takes Practice

"The study will run for 8 weeks. Intervention participants will participate in the meditation features in their Calm account. Each participant will receive anchoring specific push notifications related to, tracking sessions completed, reminders, mood symptom tracking, and group-specific goal reminders. The intervention group will be provided an anchoring strategy video on the persistence of daily meditation practice and receive anchoring strategy specific push notification study reminders.~Participants will be asked to choose a cue to use as an anchoring strategy. Health and well-being measures will be taken at baseline and post-intervention. Participation in the Calm meditations will be tracked (app feature used, time of day used, and time spent in meditation) by the Calm informatics team. Additionally, they will answer one, multiple choice EMA (ecological momentary assessment) question 1x per day (8am, 1pm or 6pm)."

The study will run for 8 weeks. Control participants will participate in the meditation features in their Calm account. Each participant will receive non-anchoring specific push notifications related to, tracking sessions completed, reminders, mood symptom tracking, and group-specific goal reminders. The control group will not be provided an anchoring strategy video on the persistence of daily meditation practice and receive non-anchoring strategy specific push notification study reminders. Health and well-being measures will be taken at baseline and post-intervention. Participation in the Calm meditations will be tracked (app feature used, time of day used, and time spent in meditation) by the Calm informatics team.
