Examining the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Tailored Version of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness (YEH)
- Conditions
- Stress, Emotional
- Interventions
- Behavioral: attention control conditionBehavioral: tailored MBI (.b)
- Registration Number
- NCT04950816
- Brief Summary
A Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI), called ".b," will be tailored to Youth Experiencing Homelessness (YEH) by using focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and iterative beta-testing with the Homeless Youth Working Group (HYWG). The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of this tailored MBI in YEH (the tailored MBI called .b will be compared to an attention control condition). The results of this feasibility study will inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial that will aim to test the efficacy of the intervention for improving stress management, increasing emotional regulation, decreasing impulsivity in YEH.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Emotion Regulation as measured by Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The DERS is a 36 item questionnaire and each item is scored from 1(almost never)-5 (almost always) ,higher score indicates greater problem with emotion regulation
Change in Self-Compassion as measured by Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The SCS is a 26 item questionnaire and each item is scored from 1(almost never)-5 (almost always) ,higher score indicates -------
Change in Stress as measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The PSS is a 10 item questionnaire and each item is scored from 0(never)-4(very often),higher score indicating a higher perceived stress.
Change in Mindfulness as measured by Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised (CAMS-R) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The CAMS-R is a 12-item measure and each item is scored from 1( rarely/not at all)-4(almost always). Higher values reflect greater mindful qualities
Change in Mindfulness as measured by Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The CAMM is a 10 item questionnaire and each item is scored from 0(never true)-4 (always true) ,higher score indicates higher levels of mindfulness
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Social Connectedness as measured Social Connectedness Scale Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The scale is a 20 item questionnaire and each item is scored from 1(strongly disagree)-6(strongly agree),higher score indicating more connectedness to others.
Change in Depression as measured by Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The scale is a 13 item questionnaire and each item is scored from 0(not true)-2(true),higher score indicating worse outcome
Change in Vulnerability as measured by Psychological Vulnerability Scale Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention This is a 6 item questionnaire,each item is measured from 1(does not describe me at all)-5 describes me very well.A higher score indicates more vulnerability.
Change in Anxiety as measured by Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention This scale is a 40 item questionnaire,each question is scored from 1(very much so)-4 (not at all), a higher score indicates a worse outcome
Change in Distress as measured by Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention This is a 10-item questionnaire,each item is scored from 1(none of the time)-5(all of the time) for a total score ranging from 10-50 and a higher score indicating worse outcome
Change in Affect as measured by Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS-SF) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention PANAS-SF is a 20 item questionnaire, each item is scored from 1(very slightly or not at all)-5(extremely).Positive affect (items1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, and 19) score ranges for 10-50 with higher scores indicating higher levels of positive effect.Negative affect ( items 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 20) score ranges form 10-50, with lower scores indicating lower levels of negative effect.
Change in Risk Seeking as measured by Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) Baseline, immediately after intervention (1day after baseline),3 months post intervention,6 months post intervention The Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) is a computerized measure of risk taking behavior. Each click causes the balloon to incrementally inflate and money to be added to a counter up until some threshold, at which point the balloon is over inflated and explodes. The primary score used to measure BART performance is the adjusted average number of pumps on unexploded balloons, with higher scores indicative of greater risk-taking propensity
