What this trial studies

This study tests an app-based mindfulness intervention called the Healthy Minds Program (HMP) aimed at preventing anxiety and depression in pre-service teachers during their final year of training. The project focuses on assessing the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of the HMP, while also examining its effects on mental health outcomes and turnover intentions. By involving undergraduate research assistants, the study aims to strengthen the research environment at the University of Alabama and provide insights into scalable mental health solutions for educators. The intervention is particularly timely given the increased mental health concerns among teachers since the pandemic.
