BEHAVIORAL

Spiritual Self-Care Smartphone App

Participants will be asked to engage with a commercially available spiritual self-care smartphone app on a daily basis for 6 weeks. The content spans several domains, including meditation, prayer, affirmations, movement (i.e., stretching and yoga), and music. The user experience is highly personalized, allowing the user to select content that matches their current: mood or needs (e.g., anxiety, loneliness, stress, self-esteem, and sleep), time of day (e.g., recommendations for morning and evening practices), and/or availability (e.g., very brief "micro-interventions" lasting no more than 90 seconds or longer activities up to 30 minutes in duration). The content is delivered via a combination of audio and visual modalities on a personal smartphone that can be toggled on and off to adjust to surroundings.
