A waitlist-controlled trial of online audio mindfulness lessons for older people living with HIV found that after 25 days, symptoms of depression improved by 20.3% and anxiety by 22.4% compared to a control group. Improvements in loneliness were not statistically significant. Among participants with elevated baseline symptoms, depression improved by 26.3%, anxiety by 25.6%, and daily loneliness by 18.9%, all with moderate effect sizes. The intervention appears to offer accessible mental health relief for this population.
