Study Goal
The researchers aimed to determine whether mindfulness-based programs could effectively reduce stress and anxiety in adolescents exposed to interparental conflict, and whether tailored, real-time delivery of mindfulness components could enhance treatment efficacy.
Results Summary

INTRODUCTION: Interparental conflict exposure places adolescents at risk for problems with stress and anxiety; existing prevention/intervention strategies focus on reducing interparental conflict. Mindfulness-based programmes may be a promising treatment strategy for this population, but studies have not yet tested whether they are effective in this high-conflict context. In addition, evidence suggests that extensions to traditional treatments, such as delivering components in daily life that are tailored to moments of need, can increase treatment efficacy, particularly when combined with in-person treatments and particularly for adolescents. However, there are no such extensions to mindfulness interventions available. The METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Institutional Review Board at Colorado State University has approved this study. Findings will be disseminated in scientific journals and conferences, whether they are positive, negative or inconclusive.
