Do online mindfulness-based interventions work? The most recent meta-analysis aggregates evidence from 97 randomised controlled trials. It concludes that mindfulness interventions can make a positive difference: Online programmes can be beneficial for improving mental health outcomes, yielding small to moderate effect sizes for symptoms of depression and anxiety, for stress, for wellbeing, and for mindfulness.
A significant number of people in the UK practice mindfulness and most of them learn it online (see Pathways to Learning Mindfulness in our Research Roundup 2021-01 ; and Simonsson, Fisher, & Martin, 2021).
