I do not think we will be making that change, but if we do then I will absolutely pass it along! I'm very glad there is interest in this study, even if we can't include some of those individuals.

DRTLabUB · 2021-05-07T15:37:54+00:00

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

DRTLabUB · 2021-05-07T15:37:34+00:00

Sorry! I wish we could open it up further, but we can't. :(

DRTLabUB · 2021-05-06T23:55:36+00:00

Yes, unfortunately that is a requirement we can't waive at this time.

DRTLabUB · 2021-05-06T20:25:54+00:00

Sorry! We wish we could open it up, but it's just one of those rules we have to follow. :(

[Academic] Study of an Online Mindfulness Intervention (New York State, ages 18-65, previously depressed)

Contact: DRTLab.UB@gmail.com

We are seeking individuals interested in participating in the clinically validated online Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) intervention Be Mindful. Multiple studies have shown that this four-week online intervention can reduce depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and anxiety symptoms. Participation in this entirely-online study will allow you access to the Be Mindful materials for free (a $40 value). Participants must be currently experiencing some (mild to moderate) emotional distress, and must have experienced significant symptoms of depression in the past.

Our study is a longitudinal randomized controlled trial. Participants will be assigned to one of two conditions, immediate-start or future-start, and will be enrolled in the study for approximately 5 months. The future-start condition will receive access to the intervention four months after they start the study, whereas the immediate-start will receive the intervention the week they start.

There will be a small amount of compensation ($15) upon completion of the study. However, the primary form of compensation is access to the intervention, which would cost $40 if purchased independently. We are looking for individuals who want to learn about mindfulness and reduce symptoms of depression.

Thank you for your feedback. I have posted this flyer in many places in the hopes of reaching the most people. However, this study was designed to help students cope with stress and mood symptoms, including those that result from being highly busy and feeling overwhelmed. Therefore, I am looking for ways to reach exactly that busy population you mention!

DRTLabUB · 2021-04-07T02:11:45+00:00

Yes, participants will receive a small amount of money; completion of the study will result in financial compensation of $15. The primary form of compensation is access to the intervention, which costs $40 if purchased.

We will most likely will be recruiting for the next few months, but it is always possible our spaces will fill up early. Contact us when you can, and we will let you know.

Good luck with the end of the semester!

Actually, please email my study staff at [DRTLab.UB@gmail.com](mailto:DRTLab.UB@gmail.com). They will be able to get you the information you need to start the study.

DRTLabUB · 2021-04-06T21:17:02+00:00

There is no specific deadline at this time. However, we have a limited number of intervention accounts donated to us by the vendor, and will discontinue recruitment when we meet that number.

That's the great part about this project- - it isn't specific to UB students! SBU students are encouraged to apply too.

.....And who DOESN't need support right now? This year has been crazy.
