The design of the study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 80 students with self-reported symptoms of stress/anxiety/depression will be invited to take part in a 3-session course consisting of either attention training or self-compassion/mindfulness based meditation. Attention training involves modifying metacognitive control and enhancing attention flexibility so that people can refrain from responding to intrusions with extended processing. Self-compassion involves not avoiding painful or distressing feelings. Instead these experiences are held in awareness with kindness, understanding, and a sense of shared humanity.
8,582 studies on the registry are indexed under Depression; 1,723 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 81 is close to the median of 81 across 7,066 interventional studies indexed under Depression.

Ran from May 2015 to primary completion in May 2017, 24 months.
Of 3,471 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Depression, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 41. This study's 24 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,569 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 41.
