Prescriptive Predictors of Mindfulness Ecological Momentary Intervention for Social Anxiety Disorder: Machine Learning Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial Data

We extended an earlier RCT [64,65] on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to a new SAD sample [66]. This RCT showed that both MEMI and SM produced longer-term effects on SAD and its comorbid symptoms and risk factors, with significant between-group differences in momentary anxiety, depression, and mindfulness but not retrospectively reported symptoms [66]. Hypotheses were 2-fold.

Wearable Devices in Remote Cardiac Rehabilitation With and Without Weekly Online Coaching for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

Anxiety levels were assessed using a self-administered State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form at baseline and the end of this study. This inventory consisted of 40 statements about the feelings of the participants and was divided into 2 parts. In part I (comprising 20 statements), patients were instructed to rate the intensity of their current feelings of anxiety (indicating state anxiety) on a scale ranging from 1 (absolutely not) to 4 (very much).

Effectiveness and Implementation Outcomes of an mHealth App Aimed at Promoting Physical Activity and Improving Psychological Distress in the Workplace Setting: Cluster-Level Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

In 2019, an estimated 301 million working-age adults experienced anxiety, while approximately 280 million had depression [1]. Furthermore, many workers report subclinical symptoms such as psychological distress [2-4]. These mental health concerns lead to increased absenteeism, deteriorating quality of life, and overall well-being [5]. The global economic burden of mental health conditions is estimated at approximately US $1 trillion annually, primarily due to productivity losses [1,6,7].
