What is the impact of Smiling Mind App programs on the well-being of adult participants?

INTERVENTION: The Smiling Mind app targets three primary areas of daily functioning: stress reduction, increase sleep quality, and reduced loneliness. The users are able to choose which program (or all) they would like to register for. Once participants complete the consent form and baseline assessment (via online platform: REDcap), they will be randomised in to one of two conditions: waitlist/control group, or app treatment group. Respondents randomised to the app treatment group get sent an email with instructions on how to download and get started with the programs (of their choice). The activities in the app includes audio guided meditations, which the participants are encouraged to engage with every day, however, the minimum number of meditations required is five over two weeks. The intervention duration is four weeks in total, with the baseline assessment given to participants at two weeks and four weeks. Before the two‐ and four‐week assessments are sent to participants in the treatment group, research team members from Smiling Mind (listed and approved on ethics) will check the registration and engagement in the app via the email address provided by the participant. Participants allocated to the waitlist/control group will be asked to declare any engagement in mindfulness meditation at the beginning of the two‐ and four‐week online surveys. Declaration of engagement deems them ineligible to continue with the project. All participants who complete all three assessments go into the draw to win a $100 Amazon voucher, emailed to them at the conclusion of the project.
