Optimizing just-in-time adaptive interventions for interpersonal distress: mechanisms, prediction, and the challenge of engagement
Overview
This secondary analysis of a randomized trial (N=77) examines mechanisms and engagement predictors for just-in-time adaptive interventions targeting interpersonal distress in adults with common mental health disorders. The study compares mindfulness and mentalization micro-interventions triggered by personalized symptom thresholds, analyzing dynamic symptom networks and proximal effectiveness. Findings indicate no significant immediate intervention effects, but identify high stress, elevated mood, and perceived criticism as predictors of non-engagement, while cumulative symptoms and social contact facilitate engagement.
