The study included pre, post, 9-, 12-, 18- and 24-month follow-ups. Adults with \u22653 previous major depressive episodes, in full\/partial remission (below threshold for a current episode), on ADM, were assessed for eligibility in primary care practices in the UK. People were randomised (1:1) to MBCT-tapering support or maintenance-ADM. We used the Beck Depression Inventory-II to evaluate depressive symptom changes over the six time points. Pre-post treatment, we employed the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire to gauge mindfulness skills. Baseline symptom and history variables were used to identify individuals with varying severity profiles. We conducted Latent Profile Moderated-Mediation Growth Mixture Models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0007125024001788_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 424 people (mean (s.d.) age = 49.44 (12.31) years; with 325 (76.7%) self-identified as female) were included. A mediating effect of mindfulness skills, between trial arm allocation and the linear rate of depressive symptoms change over 24 months, moderated by depression severity, was observed (moderated-mediation index = \u22120.27, 95% CI = \u22120.66, \u22120.03). Conditional indirect effects were \u22120.42 (95% CI = \u22120.78, \u22120.18) for higher severity (expected mean BDI-II reduction = 10 points), and \u22120.15 (95% CI = \u22120.35, \u22120.02) for lower severity (expected mean BDI-II reduction = 3.5 points).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0007125024001788_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mindfulness skills constitute a unique mechanism driving change in MBCT (versus maintenance-ADM). Individuals with higher depression severity may benefit most from MBCT-tapering support for residual symptoms. It is unclear if these effects apply to those with a current depressive episode. Future research should investigate individuals who are not on medication.
