Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Mind-UsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Use of the 10% Happier app to complete at least one meditation daily -with the possibility of exceeding this goal by choosing additional meditations- for 4 weeks. Participants will be asked to complete "The Basics" and "The Basics II" courses to familiarize themselves with the principles of mindfulness meditation. Each audio-recorded session begins with a short video providing psychoeducation around mindfulness meditation and teaching specific techniques (e.g., using the breath as an anchor, redirecting attention, noting thoughts and emotions). For the last two weeks of the program, participants will be invited to complete the "Essential Advice" course. This additional course is composed of 14 sessions ranging in length from 15 to 18 minutes.

Group II: Assessments FirstActive Control1 Intervention

Wait-list control group. Individuals in this group will complete baseline, mid-, and post-treatment assessments before receiving the intervention (i.e., 4 weeks after randomization).

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the overall aim of this clinical experiment?

"This trial, expected to last 1-2 months until completion, is designed to measure the change in depression levels. Secondary assessments include an evaluation of experiential avoidance via the 15-item Brief Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire (BEAQ), mindfulness with the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and self-compassion using a 12-item Self Compassion Scale Short Form (SCS SF). Respondents are asked to rate their experiences from 1 - 6 or 1 - 5 respectively, where higher scores reflect increased values for each variable. All three measures have achieved good internal consistency and construct validity upon validation studies."
