Mindfulness Spanish
The MAPs program was developed at UCLA (Winston \& Smalley, 2010 and Lopez-Maya, 2016) and provides experiential training in mindfulness-based practices, including mindfulness meditation. UCLA-certified instructors delivered the interventions. Active program components include sitting and walking meditations, body scan and loving-kindness meditation. Participants were provided with audio CDs or digital downloads to complete their daily meditation assignments. Sessions were held once per week for 2 hours per session over a period of six consecutive weeks. Home practice assignments consist of daily mindfulness exercises starting with 5 minutes daily, progressing to 20 minutes daily by the end of the program.

Health Education Spanish
The health education condition is a weekly 2-hour, 6 session course aimed at knowledge acquisition in subjects related to health care in general. Similar interventions have been described elsewhere (Black, et al., 2014; Irwin, et al., 2014). A trained health educator provided videos and didactic presentations on topics such as: stress, sleep hygiene, diet \& nutrition, sexuality, mental health and substance abuse. The health education condition resembled the MAPs intervention in terms of duration, group format and support, attention and participant expectancy regarding health benefits.
