Curious about Mindfulness?
Mindfulness-Based College for Young Adults is a research study offered through Brown University that offers a free 9-week mindfulness program for young adults (18-29 y.o.) online that includes teaching mindfulness meditation and mindful movement. The program is available to qualify young adults aged 18 to 29 y.o. residing in the United States starting soon. The program teaches mindfulness as well as directing mindfulness-based skills towards enhancing diet, physical activity, sleep, stress recovery, cognitive performance, and social relationships.
About the Study and Compensation
The research study, run by Brown University, consists of nine weekly 2.5 hour sessions, an all-day session, and online assessments before and after the mindfulness program. All mindfulness programming and data collection activities will be conducted remotely. This is a randomized controlled trial, so if eligible, you will be offered the mindfulness training either this semester or during the next available class, depending on which group you are assigned to.
