简要总结
Our uncontrolled study of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) for urban youth suggests benefits in mental health and quality of life outcomes. To evaluate further the specific effects of MBSR, we are conducting a small randomized controlled trial of the MBSR program compared with a health education program.
详细描述
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at two urban clinic sites. HIV-positive youth between the ages of 14 and 22 will be recruited and randomized into either an eight-week (with one retreat session) Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course (intervention) or an eight-week (with one retreat session) Healthy Topics (HT) course (active control). Measures of psychological functioning, coping, and life satisfaction will take place at baseline, immediately post-program, and 3-months post program. Medical data, including Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) and viral load counts, will also be collected at the three data collection time points.

结局指标
主要结局
Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS)
时间窗: assessed at Baseline, 3 months follow-up, 4-6 months follow-up; scores at 4-6 month follow-up reported
* Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS) - measures mindfulness with total score range of 1 - 6, where higher scores indicate greater mindfulness * Children's Response Style Questionnaire(CRSQ) - measures coping mechanisms along three subscales: rumination (range: 0-3), distraction (range: 0-3) and problem-solving (range: 0-3), where higher scores on any of the subscales indicates more frequent use of that type of coping mechanism * Aggression scale - uses total score to measure aggression with a range of 0-6, where higher scores indicated more aggressive behavior
