Recorded summary
Both versions improved mindfulness and several mental-health outcomes versus waitlist. Guidance did not consistently improve outcomes; completion low (39% versus 28% at six months).
Recorded limitations
Age above target on average, inactive control, low adherence and self-report.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
