Overview
Brief Summary
Our primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a teacher training programme to teach mindfulness as part of regular classroom teaching in the total population of students in Danish upper secondary schools and schools of health and social care, respectively, on students' self-reported mental health at six-month follow-up.
Our secondary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the teacher training programme to teach mindfulness in a vulnerable subgroup of students on their self-reported mental health at three and six months after baseline.
Detailed Description
The study is designed as a pragmatic cluster randomised two-arm trial including 43 Danish schools (30 upper secondary schools and 13 schools of health and social care). The schools included a total of 76 school teachers for teacher training (44 teachers from upper secondary schools and 32 teachers from schools of health and social care). Each included teacher will be asked to recruit a class of students (15-30 students) to test the effectiveness of the modified MBSR programme (in total approx. 1.000 students).
