Among primary care patients, compare the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention (Mindfulness Training for Primary Care[MTPC]) vs. a low-dose mindfulness introduction comparator on self-management of chronic illness and illness-related health behavior action plan initiation, as well as on measures related to anxiety, depression, and stress.
This study builds on a pilot study that investigated the impact of Mindfulness Training for Primary Care on anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic illness self-management in primary care patients receiving care in an urban, community, multi-cultural safety net healthcare system. The current comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial takes place in a larger sample, and investigates the impact of a refined MTPC curriculum on specific aspects of self-regulation such as action plan initiation, while examining potential mechanisms of change, including self-efficacy, perceived control, mindfulness, self-compassion, emotion regulation, and body awareness. Participants randomized to MTPC are compared with participants who are randomized to a low-dose comparator condition and receive a 1-hour introduction to mindfulness with a referral to community mindfulness resources. Outcome assessments are conducted at baseline and study weeks 8-10.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Action Plan Initiation Survey (APIS-5) | The Action Plan Initiation Survey (APIS-5) is a 5-item self-report questionnaire adapted from a measure used by Guck et al. Participants are asked to indicate how successful they were in meeting a previously set Action Plan by using a 7-point Likert scale from 1 (Not met at all) to 7 (Totally met), with a score of 5 or above indicating successful initiation of the goal. For each unmet goal, patients are asked to further rate the cause of not meeting the goal by using a 7-point Likert rating scale from 1 (Extremely controllable) to 7 (Not at all controllable). For this outcome we reported the number of participants in each arm who successfully initiated an Action Plan, as indicated by a score of 5 or above in reporting whether they were able to meet their action plan goal. | Weeks 8-10 |
| Perceived Stress Scale | The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (10 items) measures the degree to which situations in life are stressful. Items are designed to evaluate how overloaded, unpredictable, and uncontrollable one finds one's life. Each item is scored on a 5 point Likert scale from 0 (Never) to 4 (Very often). Scores range from 0-40 with higher scores reflecting worse results (more stress). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Anxiety Short Form (PROMIS-ASF) | The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Anxiety Short Form 8a (PROMIS-ASF) is an 8-item scale used to assess patient-reported health status for anxiety. PROMIS instruments are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and used to reliably and validly measure patient-reported outcomes for clinical research and practice. Participants are asked to rate their experience of the item in the past seven days on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). The values of the response to each question are summed into a raw score ranging from 8-40. The raw score is then rescaled with use of the PROMIS Assessment Center Scoring Service into a T score, a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher T-Score reflects worse results (greater symptom severity). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |

Participants completed a self-reported adverse events form during weeks 8 and 24. Adverse events were further collected during engagement phone calls during weeks 2, 4 6, and 8 using a combination of checklist and open-ended questions.
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject during participation in the clinical study. An adverse finding can include a sign, symptom, abnormal assessment (from vital signs or brain imaging), or any combination of these. AEs will be labeled according to severity based on their impact on the patient on the patient's well-being: "mild" if it does not have major impact, "moderate" if it causes some minor inconvenience, and "severe" if it causes substantial disruption.

| Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Depression Short Form (PROMIS-DSF) | The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Depression Short Form 8a (PROMIS-DSF) is an 8-item scale used to assess patient-reported health status for depression. PROMIS instruments are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and used to reliably and validly measure patient-reported outcomes for clinical research and practice. Participants are asked to rate their experience of the item in the past seven days on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). The values of the response to each question are summed into a raw score ranging from 8-40. The raw score is then rescaled with use of the PROMIS Assessment Center Scoring Service into a T score, a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher T-Score reflects reflect worse results (greater symptom severity). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF) | The short-form Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF) is an abbreviated 12-item form of the original 26-item Self-Compassion Scale. The scale is scored on a 5 point Likert scale (1 = Almost never; 5 = Almost always), and negative subscale items are reverse scored, with higher scores indicating greater levels of self-compassion. | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Change in Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease (SECD-6) | The Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease Scale (SECD-6) is a 6-item scale that is used to evaluate a participant's ability to self-manage care for a chronic disease. SECD-6 asks participants to rate their confidence in their own ability to do certain activities, on a scale from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident). Higher scores indicate better results (higher levels of self-efficacy). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Perceived Control Questionnaire (PCQ) | The Perceived Control Questionnaire (PCQ) is adapted from a 5-item perceived control measure from Jerant et al. and a previously validated survey from Armitage et al. This 5-item scale asks participants to rate their sense of control over chronic illness self-management on a 7-point scale from 1 (None) to 7 (Total). Scores range from 5-35, with higher scores indicating better results (greater sense of control). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) | The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation (DERS) Scale is a 36-item self-report scale designed to assess emotional dysregulation. Participants are asked to rate how often they have emotional dysregulation on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (almost never [0-10%]) to 5 (almost always [91-100%]). The scale assess 6 aspects of emotional dysregulation: non-acceptance of emotional responses, difficulties engaging in goal directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness (reverse-scored), limited access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity. Total scores range from 5-180, with higher scores indicating worse results (more difficulty in emotional regulation). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
| Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) | The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is a 32-item self-report scale designed to assess 8 aspects of interoceptive awareness : noticing, not-distracting, not-worrying, attention regulation, emotional awareness, self-regulation, body listening, and trusting. Participants are asked to rate their awareness of interoceptive experiences on a 6-point Likert scale from 0 (Never) to 5 (Always). Each subscale has 3-7 items, and scores are obtained by reverse coding items 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and then taking the average of items in each scale. Scores range from 0-5, with higher scores indicating better results (greater interoception). | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |

| Secondary | Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) | The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation (DERS) Scale is a 36-item self-report scale designed to assess emotional dysregulation. Participants are asked to rate how often they have emotional dysregulation on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (almost never [0-10%]) to 5 (almost always [91-100%]). The scale assess 6 aspects of emotional dysregulation: non-acceptance of emotional responses, difficulties engaging in goal directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness (reverse-scored), limited access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity. Total scores range from 5-180, with higher scores indicating worse results (more difficulty in emotional regulation). | We conducted a difference-in-differences, ITT, repeated measures analysis using linear mixed effects models | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | score on a scale | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |

| Secondary | Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) | The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is a 32-item self-report scale designed to assess 8 aspects of interoceptive awareness : noticing, not-distracting, not-worrying, attention regulation, emotional awareness, self-regulation, body listening, and trusting. Participants are asked to rate their awareness of interoceptive experiences on a 6-point Likert scale from 0 (Never) to 5 (Always). Each subscale has 3-7 items, and scores are obtained by reverse coding items 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and then taking the average of items in each scale. Scores range from 0-5, with higher scores indicating better results (greater interoception). | We conducted a difference-in-differences, ITT, repeated measures analysis using linear mixed effects models | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | score on a scale | Baseline and week 8 (pre to post Intervention) |
