Feasibility Pilot of Remote Mindfulness Training Across Multiple Sites (REFORM Pilot)
Sponsor: Institute for Human Development and Potential (IHDP), Singapore
Summary
This is an operational feasibility pilot preceding the main REFORM multi-site randomized controlled trial. Approximately 60 adults across three sites will be randomized equally to one of four remotely delivered audio-guided mental training programmes and will complete 12 sessions over approximately one month. The purpose of the pilot is to assess the feasibility and functioning of the study procedures, including the Qualtrics survey and randomization workflow, participant adherence and experience, Camera HRV data collection and transfer, compensation procedures, and blinding materials. Pilot outcomes will be summarized descriptively. The pilot is not designed for confirmatory efficacy testing. Pilot participants will be excluded from all confirmatory analyses of the subsequent main REFORM trial, and pilot data will not be used to calibrate the Bayesian stopping design, nuisance parameters, or Wave 1 recruitment target.

Formal-Heavy Audio-Guided Mindfulness Training
Twelve remotely delivered audio-guided sessions completed over approximately one month. The programme comprises eight formal and four informal mindfulness practices (approximately 67% formal practice). Each session uses standardized SOMA audio materials and lasts approximately 12 minutes, with additional study assessments surrounding the audio sessions.
Balanced Audio-Guided Mindfulness Training
Twelve remotely delivered audio-guided sessions completed over approximately one month. The programme comprises six formal and six informal mindfulness practices, corresponding to 50% formal practice. Sessions use standardized SOMA mindfulness audio materials.
Informal-Heavy Audio-Guided Mindfulness Training
Twelve remotely delivered audio-guided sessions completed over approximately one month. The programme comprises four formal and eight informal mindfulness practices, corresponding to approximately 33% formal practice. Sessions use standardized SOMA mindfulness audio materials.
Analytical Active-Control Training
Twelve remotely delivered audio-guided analytical exercises completed over approximately one month. The active-control programme is structurally matched to the mindfulness programmes on duration, narrator, session architecture, and practice burden, while using analytical rather than mindfulness-based processing.
