Conditions studied: Substance Use
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility, behavioral/neural mechanisms, and preliminary efficacy of "MINDfulness-based Substance Use Prevention Program," or "MINDS-UP", a novel substance use prevention meditation intervention for children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 14. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is MINDS-UP feasible and what is its preliminary efficacy? 2. Are MRI protocol and procedures feasible? An additional exploratory question is: Are there neural and psychopathological mechanisms through which MINDS-UP might work? Researchers will compare Sport - Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) (an evidence based substance use prevention program) to Sport - Prevention Plus Wellness + MINDS-UP to examine the preliminary efficacy of MINDS-UP. Participants will * take assessment #1 * have 2 MRIs and take MINDS-UP, just take MINDS-UP or have a delayed start * take assessment #2 * take PPW, a single remote and research assistant-delivered 45-minute session * take assessment #3 * take assessment #4
