This trial is for high-achieving 10th or 11th graders from marginalized BIPOC communities, with a GPA above 3.5 or in the top 20% of their class, and enrolled in advanced courses at participating schools.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests if mindfulness training can help these students manage stress better than standard study skills training. It aims to see if this can reduce health issues and mental health problems caused by constant striving despite adversity.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Group I: STRIVEExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Based on the Learning to BREATHE (L2B) curriculum (Broderick, 2013), the STRIVE intervention is a mindfulness-based program designed to facilitate the development of emotion regulation for middle to high school students. Goals of the program include helping students understand their thoughts and feelings, learning how to use mindfulness-based skills to manage emotions, and providing opportunities for guided group mindfulness meditation practice. Delivered in twelve 60-minute group sessions, the intervention will be include the core components of the L2B program (i.e. body awareness; understanding and working with thoughts; understanding and working with feelings; integrating awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations; reducing harmful self-judgments, and integrating mindful awareness into daily life) with content framed around the needs of high achieving, college-bound BIPOC students with the goal of offsetting the costs of resilience.

Group II: Study SkillsPlacebo Group1 Intervention

The attention control condition will incorporate face-valid content to support college readiness and achievement in twelve 60- minute group sessions. Twelve sessions will cover the SOAR study skills curriculum (Kruger, 2017), including goal-setting, organization and time-management, and study skills for reading comprehension, writing papers, note-taking, and test-taking.
