This study aims to enhance the Healthy Minds Program (HMP) app by developing and testing a personalized, data-driven approach to optimize long-term well-being. 1100 participants will be enrolled and on study for up to 4 months (4 week intervention plus 3 month follow-up).
Participants will be randomly assigned to various training conditions that vary across six factors. Each of the six factors is binary ("yes" vs. "no"), and for each factor there is a 50 percent probability of assignment to either level.
Participants will take surveys at baseline, weekly through the 4-week intervention, and 3-month follow-up.
