Got stress?
Most people experience stress at some point in their lives. Stress can make you feel bad. Stress can also make your health problems worse. This includes heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, depression, and more. Even cancer!
Here's how you can help! Join a nationwide study that looks at how to use mindfulness to cope with stress. This could help people with more than 100 different medical conditions, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
The study is called Healthy Mind Healthy You. The goal is to learn more about how mindfulness can reduce stress. In the study, you are randomly assigned to one of two online mindfulness programs, a three-session program or an eight-session program.
This study is for members of ImproveCareNow. It includes patients, caregivers, and family members.
