I am responsible for a longitudinal project, aiming at knowing how mindfulness practice in daily life impacts the psychological well-being of adults with anxiety. The project’s duration is 3 months and each participant needs to report their experience of psychological well-being three times a day at a fixed timeslot. My question is, how can I prevent a high dropout rate in my study?Thank you.

Thanks for your kind comment. Hope it is helpful.

I greatly appreciate your thorough answer.

To prevent a high dropout rate in your longitudinal project on the impact of mindfulness practice on psychological well-being:



Maintain regular communication: Stay in touch with participants, providing updates on the study’s progress and reminding them of the importance of their participation.

Simplify the reporting process: Ensure the reporting system is user-friendly and convenient, minimizing any barriers or technical difficulties.

Offer incentives: Provide small incentives or rewards to motivate participants and show appreciation for their commitment to reporting regularly.
