  • *P values reflect the two-sided test of the difference between target percentages or means for all patients with the exception of the mean SUS score, which reflects comparison to the mobile mindfulness group alone.

  • †Denominator is 88 because of two consented who mistakenly met exclusion criteria; see figure 2.

  • ‡Among eligible participants who neither dropped out nor died.

  • §Using Google analytics; also see online supplement 2.

  • CSQ, Client Satisfaction Questionnaire; NA, not applicable; SUS, Systems Usability Scale.
