Description

Although meditation apps are gaining popularity, a clear link between usage dosage and intervention outcomes has yet to be established.

Drawing from a randomized controlled trial with 662 participants published in APS’s journal Clinical Psychological Science, the conversation examines various ways to measure dosage and how these metrics relate to changes in psychological distress.
