Project Description
Project TIME aims to tailor a mindfulness mobile health (mHealth) application for college students. We will be integrating text messages and gaming components to an existing mHealth intervention to see if these changes increase engagement in the mindfulness app to manage stress and associated risky behaviors. We will do a 28-day mHealth trial to test whether or changes to the app were helpful for engagement and impacted behavioral and mental health outcomes.Research Tasks: literature review, data collection, conducting interviews
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: attention to detail (recommended)
