You are in Group 3 of the LIFT study!

What should I expect with Group 3?  This is 1 of 8 versions of the LIFT program that differ slightly from each other on 3 factors:

  • Introduction:  You are in the team introduction group.  Tina Gremore (a study team member–see photo below), will call you very soon.  This is a one-time, very short call.  She will describe the study, explain what mindfulness is all about, and help you get started with the LIFT mobile app.
  • Dose:  You are in the high dose group.  This means that we would recommend you do the short guided meditation twice a day.  You also have access to the confidential chat room.  Tina will be responding to peoples’ questions.  People can use the chat room to talk to others about their experiences with the LIFT program.
  • Response to your symptoms:  You are in the app help group.  If your symptoms either remain really severe or start to get worse over time, the LIFT app will give you personalized feedback on new ways to use the program.  Important: if you are having really serious symptoms, please let us know (see contact information below).

How do I get started with the LIFT app?  We have three great resources (video, booklet, Quickstart card) available by clicking here.

What are the KEY things I need to do in the LIFT study each week–and day?

The LIFT program lasts for only 1 month.  It only takes <10 minutes a day!

  • Step 1:  At the beginning of each week, watch a video.  The short video will explain what you will be doing–and how the LIFT program will help.
  • Step 2:  Each day, do the short guided meditation by playing the audio file in the morning and evening.  You can also use the chat room to interact with other LIFT participants–and Tina Gremore from the LIFT team.
  • Step 3:  At the end of each week, do a short Weekly Check-In survey.  It only takes 1 minute.
