Efficacy of the Mobile Mindfulness Coach.

This randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy of a 5-week mindfulness intervention administered through mobile phone or tablet, in improving mindfulness, mental health, quality of life, and self-actualization.

Participants who are offered the experimental intervention (i.e., mindfulness app) report more mindfulness, less mental health problems, better quality of life, and greater self-actualization than participants in the waiting list control condition at posttest (i.e., after 8 weeks). These changes are maintained at follow-up (i.e., 12 weeks after posttest) in the experimental condition.
