Meditation Apps for Stress Management in Black Women

2026年9月16日 更新者：Sunny Wonsun Kim, Ph.D、Arizona State University

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effects of Culturally-Adapted and Generic Meditation Apps for Stress Reduction in Middle-Aged Black Women

This randomized remote pilot study will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of two meditation and mindfulness applications among approximately 40 Black women ages 35-64 experiencing moderate to high stress.

Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to Exhale™, a culturally adapted meditation app designed for Black women, or Levelhead, a general mindfulness app. Participants will be asked to complete at least one session using their assigned app per day, lasting approximately 5 minutes or longer, at least 5 days per week for 4 weeks.

Participants will complete online questionnaires at baseline and after the 4-week intervention. Daily Remind messages and weekly study check-ins will support engagement. Outcomes include recruitment, retention, adherence, assessment completion, satisfaction, usability, perceived stress, race-based stress, sleep, depression, anxiety, cultural relevance, and brief participant feedback.

詳細な説明

This study is a two-arm, randomized, fully remote pilot study comparing Exhale™, a culturally adapted meditation application designed for Black women, with Levelhead, a general science-based mindfulness application.

Approximately 40 Black women ages 35-64 who report moderate to high perceived stress will be enrolled. After eligibility screening, informed consent, and completion of baseline questionnaires through REDCap, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Exhale™ or Levelhead using the REDCap randomization module.

Participants in both groups will be asked to complete at least one app-based meditation or mindfulness session per day, lasting approximately 5 minutes or longer, at least 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Participants may complete additional or longer sessions but will not be required to make up missed sessions. Daily Remind messages will ask participants whether they completed a session and the approximate number of minutes practiced. Weekly check-ins will provide study reminders and opportunities to request technical assistance.

Remote questionnaires will be administered at baseline and at the end of Week 4. Primary outcomes will assess feasibility and acceptability through recruitment, retention, adherence, assessment completion, satisfaction, and usability. Secondary outcomes will examine preliminary changes in perceived stress, race-based stress, sleep, depression, and anxiety. Cultural relevance and brief open-ended participant feedback will also be collected. Some participants may be invited to complete an optional brief remote exit interview.
