Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	App-Delivered Mindfulness Training (MT)	Unwinding Anxiety is an app-delivered mindfulness training program which includes a progression through 30+ daily modules. Each module's training is delivered via short video tutorials and animations (\~10 min/day). Each training builds on the previous one; modules are 'locked' so that they can only be viewed at a pace of 1/day (previous modules can be reviewed at any time). A built-in self-assessment is taken after every seven modules to ensure key concepts are learned before moving on with automated suggestions on which modules to repeat based on the self-assessment results. User-initiated guided practices range from short exercises (30 seconds) to manage anxiety the moment it arises to formal guided meditations (up to 15 minutes), and can be accessed at any time
