Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Daily Informal Practice

  Daily informal practice will be measured by a single item: "Today, I have tried to apply the practices I have been learning in the HMP app to my day-to-day activities." Participants will respond on a Likert scale (1 = not at all, 5 = all day long). A higher score on this item indicates more informal practice on that day.

  Data collected each evening throughout the intervention (up to 1 month)

• Daily psychological distress

  Daily psychological distress will be measured by two items on anxiety ("Today, I felt anxious") and depression ("Today, I felt depressed"). Participants will rate these items on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = not at all, 5 = very much). Responses to each item will be z-scored and then averaged to create a distress composite.

  Data collected each evening throughout the intervention (up to 1 month)
