Abstract

It is important to determine optimal dosage protocols of smartphone-based mental health interventions to maximize their potential. We report results from a randomized trial testing feasibility, acceptability, efficacy, and effects of massed versus distributed practice in a two-week meditation-based smartphone intervention in a sample of distressed undergraduates (N = 351).
