D-Stress Baltimore: School-based Mindfulness Instruction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Coping, Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic, Mental Health Wellness 1

In brief

Effective strategies to ameliorate the negative effects of stressful urban living are greatly needed. D-Stress Baltimore (DSB) is an evidence-based mindfulness-based instructional program of stress-reduction techniques, found to reduce mental health problems across many adult populations. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial of the 12-week school-based DSB program compared with a 12-week school-based health education control program at Elev8 schools among 5th-8th graders to assess if DSB program is beneficial for mental health and behavioral problems among public middle-school students.
