This study will evaluate the feasibility of providing an onsite mindfulness intervention, delivered as part of the school health curriculum, to help high school-attending adolescents cope with stress.
For this study, sophomores who are enrolled in health at Jesuit High School, (n = 320 students) will be invited to participate in a research study, conducted during health class, comparing mindfulness to a wellness or waitlist control. The students will be randomized by classroom, to either wellness or mindfulness or waitlist, with approximately 3-4 classes per intervention or control. Initially, six classes or sections of health will be randomized to one of the two active interventions, with the remaining classes/sections of health on the waitlist. Both of the intervention groups will meet weekly, during one of the regularly scheduled health classes, and have daily assignments. The students in the waitlisted classrooms will receive an intervention at the start of the next term. At the end of the study, students will have access to the materials from the other group, if desired.
