Prescriptive Predictors of Mindfulness Ecological Momentary Intervention for Social Anxiety Disorder: Machine Learning Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial Data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shame and stigma often prevent individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) from seeking and attending costly and time-intensive psychotherapies, highlighting the importance of brief, low-cost, and scalable treatments. Creating prescriptive outcome prediction models is thus crucial for identifying which clients with SAD might gain the most from a unique scalable treatment option. Nevertheless, widely used classical regression methods might not optimally capture complex nonlinear associations and interactions.

Objective

Precision medicine approaches were thus harnessed to examine prescriptive predictors of optimization to a 14-day fully self-guided mindfulness ecological momentary intervention (MEMI) over a self-monitoring app (SM).
