Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a guided imagery intervention on perceived stress in pregnant adolescents.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pregnant adolescents attending a local alternative education program will be subjects of this study. Students will participate in four, 15 minute guided imagery sessions over about a 4-6 week period. They will complete a pregnancy specific stress questionnaire before beginning and after completion of the guided imagery protocol. The students will also complete a short 9-question stress measure before and after each of the individual guided imagery sessions.

The specific aims are:

1. to evaluate whether a guided imagery intervention reduces perceived stress in pregnant adolescents; and
2. to evaluate whether a guided imagery intervention enhances well-being in pregnant adolescents.

The hypotheses are that the intervention will reduce perceived stress and enhance well-being in these subjects. The purpose of this study is to assess whether employing a guided imagery intervention with pregnant teens and education will reduce perceived stress levels and improve well-being.
