Effect of a Brief Daily Digital Meditation on Well-Being in US Young Adults (BEGIN II)

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mental Health and General Well-being

In brief

This study is testing whether a short, daily, app-based meditation can help young adults feel better in their everyday lives. We will invite about 354 adults between 18 and 40 years old who live in the United States to join. Everyone who joins will be randomly placed into one of three groups for 4 weeks: Intervention group will do a 7-minute Miracle of Mind meditation each day using a phone app. Active comparator group will listen to a neutral 7-minute audio lesson each day. Control group will continue their usual daily routine without adding anything new. All participants will answer short online surveys at the start and several times during the 4 weeks, sharing how they feel about their mood, stress, anxiety, overall well-being, and mindfulness. Participants who already wear a smartwatch (like a Fitbit or Apple Watch) can choose to share their heart rate-related data so we can see whether the meditation might also affect physical signs of stress. Investigators will compare how participants in the three groups change over time to see if the daily 7-minute meditation helps young adults feel better, less stressed, and more emotionally resilient.
