Mobile Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Bipolar Disorder: Microrandomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mobile interventions promise to fill in gaps in care with their broad reach and flexible delivery.

Objective

Our goal was to investigate delivery of a mobile version of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for individuals with bipolar disorder (BP).

Methods

Individuals with BP (n=30) participated in a 6-week microrandomized trial. Twice daily, participants logged symptoms in the app and were repeatedly randomized (or not) to receive an ACT intervention. Self-reported behavior and mood were measured as the energy devoted to moving toward valued domains or away from difficult emotions and with depressive d and manic m scores from the digital survey of mood in BP survey (digiBP).

Results

Participants completed an average of 66% of in-app assessments.
