Moffitt-Carney, Kelsey M.; Duncan, Angela B.
Journal of American College Health, v69 n2 p208-214 2021
Objective: This pilot study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of "The Mindfulness App" with college students and the utility of daily text-message reminders for increasing adherence. Participants: Students from a mid-sized Midwestern University (N = 59) during the spring and fall of 2016. Methods: Using a pretest-posttest design, a group of students used "The Mindfulness App" for 5 weeks. All students were sent text-message reminders to submit daily practice time and completed a series of online measures. Results: Participants consistently used the application as intended, and reported positive attitudes toward the text-message reminders and the quality of the application. Conclusions: "The Mindfulness App" is a feasible, well-accepted tool for delivering mindfulness interventions to college students.
