About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of different types of text messages and a integrated gaming app to increase engagement in a mindfulness mobile health application.
1. Does receiving text messages increase engagement in a mindfulness app? 2. Does an integrated gaming app increase engagement in a mindfulness app?
Researchers will examine whether participants engage more in a mindfulness mobile health application if they receive text messages and if they engage in additional gaming app on their smartphone. Participants will:
1. Use a mindfulness and gaming mobile health application for 28-days. 2. Complete a pre-study survey, post-study survey, follow-up interview, and 3-month follow-up survey in addition to daily brief surveys.
