Detailed Description
The current pilot study is a randomized controlled trial with an intervention (n=25 parent-child pairs) and a waitlist control (n=15 parent-child pairs) group that examines the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of the mHealth mindfulness program for parents. Parent participants will utilize a commercially available mobile phone application, Headspace TM, to complete 10-20 minutes of mindfulness exercises daily for six weeks. The investigators will measure the feasibility and acceptability of the mHealth mindfulness program for parents and clinical outcomes in both parents and children and also explore the effects of the intervention on stress markers including cortisol and inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin-6 (Il-6)).
Participants will recruit from an existing longitudinal cohort, the Boricua Youth Study (BYS; NYSPI IRB protocols #4187R and #6476) and BYS-ECHO (NYSPI IRB Protocols # 7377). The BYS is an epidemiological study on the development of psychiatric disorders in Puerto Rican children. Participants for the current study are a subsample G1 BYS participants who are parents of youth (G2) ages 3 to 12 years old.
Aim 1: To exam the feasibility and acceptability of an mHealth mindfulness program to reduce psychosocial distress among parents of children between 5 and 12 years old (N=40 parent-child pairs) Aim 2: To test preliminary clinical outcome for parents (psychosocial distress and functioning) and child (behavioral and emotional problems) Exploratory Aim: To explore the effects of an mHealth mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on stress markers including cortisol and inflammation (CRP and IL-6)

Experimental: Intervention
10-20 minutes a day of mindfulness meditation practice through the Headspace app. Participants will receive daily reminders to participate and receive weekly calls to assess adherence. Participants will be briefed on the telephone on how to use the app and receive recommendations of possible meditations they can engage with throughout the 6 weeks of participation. |
A commercially available mindfulness mobile phone application (HeadspaceTM) will be used. The use of HeadspaceTM in the current protocol is approved by NYSPI Information Technology Services. An mHealth mindfulness program such as Headspace provides self-paced, guided mindfulness meditations through a website or mobile app (iOS and Android). The program consists of basic meditation courses as well as courses targeting stress management, anxiety, depression, and parenting. Based on the qualitative interviews with parents in Phase I, psychoeducation will be included on mindfulness practice and mental health, emphasizing basic meditation courses, and asking parents to complete daily assignments of 10 to 20 min a day during the 6-week period. As an engagement strategy, every week participants in the intervention group will receive a call or an email or text message (depends on preference; partisans may opt out to receive email/text messages). |
