Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Calm

The intervention ran for 8-wks with a 4-wk follow-up period. Intervention participants completed "7 days of Calm" during Week 1. For the remaining weeks (Week 2- Week 8) intervention participants were asked to meditate during the weekday from a 10-minute meditation of their choice. Throughout the intervention, the Calm College group were sent reminder texts/emails via Google Voice to participate in the meditation sessions if participants are not meditating for more than 30 minutes a week (see Participant Scripts).
