Web-based mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can be effective in reducing stress in similar populations. However, low engagement may limit the effectiveness of the intervention. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess participant engagement in a Web-based MBI designed for 9-1-1 telecommunicators.

Methods: We used qualitative and quantitative data from participant surveys (n=149) that were collected to assess the efficacy of the intervention.
