Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychology
  • Mindfulness-Based Interventions
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Mindfulness interventions show promise for adult mental health.
  • Research on mindfulness for children and adolescents needs methodologically sound designs.
  • Few studies compare mindfulness programs to alternative interventions in youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the effectiveness of a school-based mindfulness program versus a standard relaxation program and a non-treatment control group.
  • To systematically examine mindfulness effects on mental well-being, cognitive functions, psychophysiological responses, academic achievements, and motivation.
  • To provide methodologically rigorous evidence on mindfulness in a non-clinical adolescent population.

Main Methods:

  • Cluster randomized controlled trial with three arms: mindfulness, active control (relaxation), and non-treatment.
  • Sample: Approximately 3,000 students aged 12-15 years across 59 Finnish schools.
  • Intervention: 9 weeks of weekly 45-minute lessons; data collected pre- and post-intervention, with 6- and 12-month follow-ups.

Main Results:

  • The study systematically examined the effectiveness of a school-based mindfulness program.
  • Compared mindfulness to a standard relaxation program and a non-treatment control group.
  • A rigorous randomized controlled design was employed.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides novel evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness.
  • Mindfulness benefits were assessed over and above a standard relaxation program.
  • The rigorous design strengthens the findings on mindfulness interventions for adolescents.
