Study Groups

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

Mindfulness Training Group A

Participants in this group will receive mindfulness training in up to 8 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness-Based Attention Training (MBAT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

MBAT is an evidence-based 8-hour mindfulness program that comprises 4 central topics and associated practices. The concentration topic introduces participants to mindfulness "basics," including discussion of focused attention and mind wandering. The body awareness theme involves the cultivation of greater self-awareness, and the development of equanimity. The open monitoring theme emphasizes awareness of and receptivity to changing experiences and moments of uncertainty. The theme of connection addresses leadership and group cohesion, and the cultivation of kindness and connection with others.

The course content and materials in the present study will entail the foundational MBAT curriculum and other related content delivered virtually over Zoom but will consist of 8, 1-hour sessions delivered across 8 consecutive weeks.

Wait-list condition Group B

Participants in this group will be on a waiting list to receive the identical intervention as the experimental group at a later time. Total participation in the mindfulness training will be 8 weeks
