Participants in the mindfulness group will be expected to complete a self-help online mindfulness-based intervention, delivered over a 4-week period via an e-learning mental health platform. They will be assessed at three different time points: (1) before the intervention (pre-test assessment), (2) right after the 4-week intervention (post-test assessment), and (3) four weeks after the intervention (follow-up assessment).

The participants in waitlist control group will be offered access to the online mindfulness course after the study has ended.

This self-help online mindfulness-based intervention is comprised of four weekly modules on education about mindfulness, guided meditations (e.g., mindful breathing, mindful eating, mindful walking, body scan, acceptance, choiceless awareness and disengaging from thoughts exercise), and guidance on using informal mindfulness skills in day-to-day life. Readings, audio and videos are included to explain the concept of mindfulness and overcome common difficulties associated with mindfulness practice.

Participants will be asked to meditate daily and complete a daily log on their mindfulness practice during this 8-week period.

Mindfulness and discernment will be assessed using the Mindfulness-Discernment Scale. Ten items capture participants' levels of mindfulness and fourteen items reflect participants' levels of discernment. Items are rated on a scale ranging from 1 (Never) to 6 (Always).
