Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Mobile+Group LAMP Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) condition consists of eight 90-minute weekly group sessions, delivered via secure video-conferencing. The first session is preceded by a 90-minute technical session introducing the video-conference system and other logistics. The program consists of educational and instructional videos presented by a trained mindfulness instructor interspersed with workbook reflections and group discussions, and daily practice exercises that participants do on their own. A trained facilitator (who is not required to be an expert in mindfulness) leads the group. Participants also have access to a mobile app and a study website, with the same educational and instructional videos that are presented in the group sessions, and the accompanying workbook.
The Mobile LAMP MBI consists of 8 self-paced, 30- to 60-minute weekly sessions, delivered on a mobile app and available on the study website, with an accompanying workbook. The program consists of educational and instructional videos presented by a trained mindfulness instructor, with workbook reflections and daily practice exercises that participants do on their own (the same content used in Mobile+Group LAMP). Participants also participate in 3 engagement phone calls with a facilitator. The 1st call (45-60 minutes), held at the beginning of the program, includes technical and logistical information on engaging with mobile app, website, and workbook; and discussion of goals, challenges and plans for practice. The 2nd (middle of program) and 3rd call (end of program) are 25-45 minutes long and address technical/logistical issues and discussion of goals, progress, plans for practice and strategies to address challenges.
