First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a digital mindfulness program called '28 Days of Mindful Moments' can improve college students' mental health, focus, and academic performance. About 250 students will receive daily mindfulness exercises through Telegram for one month. Researchers will compare their outcomes to a waitlist group to see if the program reduces stress, anxiety, and procrastination while boosting mindfulness and productivity.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for colleges to help students reduce stress and improve focus and academic performance.
