Active Proportion = the proportion of active meditation practice divided by the overall number of practices. β = standardized coefficient. The sample size was 26,532. The observation period was 30 days and only participants who engaged in more than one session were included. We utilize a Bonferroni correction and only interpret results where the p-value is less than 0.01
