Study Summary

This trial tests if an app can reduce anxiety and study how it affects the brain.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 who experience anxiety, can speak English, and are able to visit Brown University for assessments. Participants must own a smartphone and score at least 10 on the GAD-7 anxiety scale. Those using drugs recently, with unstable psychotropic medication doses, pregnant or planning pregnancy, living with another participant, over 300 lbs., using benzodiazepines as needed, or having certain mental health conditions cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an app-based mindfulness training (MT) program against an app-delivered coloring activity to see which better reduces anxiety symptoms. It also looks at how these activities affect brain function by observing changes in brain activity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive app-based interventions like mindfulness training and coloring activities, significant side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort from sitting still during brain scans or mild frustration if they find the apps difficult to use.
