详细描述
Mindfulness meditation and mindfulness-based therapies have been shown to improve many aspects of psychological functioning in individuals with mental health problems.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy in improving mental health of brief mindfulness practices in adults currently in treatment for mental health concerns. The entire study will be administered online. From online instructional videos, each participant will learn a thirty-second or three-minute mindfulness practice that is to be performed at least three times daily over two weeks. A delayed-treatment control group will begin the intervention after a two-week waiting period.

研究组 & 干预措施
Wait List Control
Participants receive daily email surveys for two weeks before being given access to the brief-mindfulness-practice training materials.
Thirty-Second Mindfulness Practice
Participants watch a ten minute mindfulness training video then are given electronic access to an audio recording of guidance for a thirty-second mindfulness meditation practice. Participants are asked to complete this practice using the audio-recorded guidance at least three times a day for two weeks. Participants are sent daily emails that include reminders to complete the practice and a link to a brief online survey.
