This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) under CFDA Program 93.213 - Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health provides funding to investigate the feasibility of using a mobile application-enhanced mindfulness-based intervention to prevent the development of serious conduct problems in at-risk youth.
The $695,744 grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, will support a two-phase research study conducted by the Regents of the University of Minnesota. In Phase 1, a small 3-arm randomized controlled trial will evaluate the feasibility of the enhanced mindfulness intervention, as well as research procedures. Phase 2 will then further refine the intervention and prepare for a larger efficacy trial. This research aims to demonstrate the potential of app-based strategies for enhancing the delivery of mindfulness skills to at-risk adolescents, potentially leading to new approaches for preventing conduct problems and reducing associated societal costs.
