Developing and testing the effectiveness of mindfulness intervention for reducing loneliness in Hong Kong older adults: A hybrid sequential multiple assignment randomized trial, micro randomized trial experimental design study protocol

This paper presents a study protocol for a hybrid sequential multiple assignment randomized trial and micro randomized trial design to develop and test a mindfulness intervention aimed at reducing loneliness in Hong Kong older adults. The protocol outlines a two-phase approach: first, developing the intervention, and second, evaluating its effectiveness. The design allows for adaptive intervention delivery and real-time assessment, potentially informing personalized mindfulness-based strategies to address loneliness in this population.
