Summary
This study tests whether adding extra support—like booster sessions and a website—to an 8-week telephone mindfulness program can better reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in people with heart disease or risk factors. Researchers will compare different program options in 160 adults to find the most effective combination. The goal is to improve emotional well-being without requiring in-person visits.
