Aim: This study used a randomized cluster design and assessed the impact of a MBI on well-being and mental health of elementary school children's.

Method: 13 elementary school classrooms were randomly allocated to the experimental condition (7 classrooms, n = 127 students) or the waitlist control condition (6 classrooms, n = 104 students). Participants in the experimental condition received a 10-week MBI.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mindfulness-based condition

Classes assigned to this condition received the mindfulness-based intervention. The MBI program implemented comprised ten weekly sessions. Activities were drawn from the Mission Méditation program, a MBI intervention specifically tailored for elementary school children. Activities comprised in this intervention encompassed formal (e.g., body scan, sitting, and breathing meditation) and informal meditations (e.g., mindful eating, listening, and touching, mindful walking), as well as positive psychology exercises (e.g., taking care of oneself, gratitude). The weekly sessions, lasting 45 to 60 minutes each, were delivered in a group format by the teachers themselves, in their classroom.
