Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Online Mindfulness Intervention (OMI)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Before beginning the daily practices, this group will be introduced to the OMI via an online platform and answer any questions about the practice. Then, each day, this group will be guided through a series of mindfulness practices offered online (www.bemindfulonline.com) delivered on their smartphones or laptops.
Group II: OMI paired with peer support (OMI+)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Before beginning the daily OMI, in addition to being briefed, this group will be paired with a peer to be in touch with and guide and support each other in this process. Then they will start the OMI program and will follow parallel instructions as the OMI group. The peer support will include five brief (30-minute) weekly meetings to support and encourage each other to continue practicing mindfulness and to complete the online intervention. Each week we will provide prompts and topics for participants to discuss and at the end of each meeting, participants will then complete a short, 5-10 minute post-meeting survey to assess the well-being and attitudes of their partner (see additional materials for meeting prompts and post-meeting survey questions). The first of these meetings will occur on Day 8, and subsequent weekly meetings during the intervention period will be scheduled based on the shared availability of both participants in each pair.
Group III: Active control receiving cognitive exercisesActive Control1 Intervention
Instead of the OMI, this group will be receiving cognitive exercises in the intervention period.
