Study Description

Participants will be currently enrolled students in the ASHF course. Students will complete measures at baseline, daily during the 1-month intervention period, at post-treatment, and 3 months later. During the 1-month intervention period, half of the participants will be randomized to receive small amounts of digital support in the form of text messages.

Context (from the course website): The Art and Science of Human Flourishing course is taught in tandem with the Healthy Minds Program (HMP) app. The overall framework of the ASHF course largely aligns with the HMP app and is composed of the following modules and sub-themes which are covered throughout the course of a 15-week semester:

Foundations: Flourishing, Transformation, Resilience

  • Awareness: Focus, Emotions, Mindfulness

  • Connection: Interdependence, Compassion, Diversity

  • Wisdom: Identity, Values, Gratitude

  • Integration: Courage, Community

Small amounts of digital support will be tested on half the participants. Primary Outcomes for measuring the effect of this support will be the PROMIS Depression and Anxiety Measures.
