Micropractices for Unhoused LGBTQ Youth

29 aprile 2026 aggiornato da: Cornell University

Developing and Evaluating Collaboratively Designed Mindfulness and Identity-Affirming Practices for Unhoused LGBTQ Youth

In the present study, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of brief, co-designed mindfulness and identity-affirming micropractices for LGBTQ youth and young adults experiencing housing instability. Participants (n = 200, accounting for anticipated attrition) will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1) a mindfulness and identity-based micropractice condition or (2) a structurally equivalent neutral control condition. The intervention content will be developed using a participatory co-design process with members of the target population and standardized prior to trial implementation. The mindfulness and identity condition integrates brief practices targeting present-moment awareness and identity affirmation, whereas the control condition accounts for time and attention without including these components. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Primary outcomes include feasibility and acceptability, assessed using standardized implementation outcome measures and indicators of intervention adherence. Secondary outcomes include changes in mental health symptoms, psychological and emotional well-being, and substance use. The investigators will evaluate whether the mindfulness and identity-based condition demonstrates greater improvements in outcomes compared to the control condition and will estimate effect sizes to inform the design of future fully powered trials. The intervention will be delivered via a mobile-accessible platform.

Descrizione dettagliata

Specific Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delivering co-designed mindfulness and identity-affirming micropractices to LGBTQ youth experiencing housing instability over a 30-day period. Hypothesis 1: Participants in the mindfulness and identity-based condition will demonstrate higher adherence (e.g., daily completion rates) and report greater acceptability compared to the neutral control condition. Specific Aim 2: Determine whether the mindfulness and identity-based micropractice condition, relative to the control condition, is associated with improvements in psychological and emotional well-being and reductions in distress and substance use. Hypothesis 2: Participants in the mindfulness and identity-based condition will show greater increases in well-being and greater reductions in anxiety, depressive symptoms, and substance use from baseline to post-intervention and to three-month follow-up compared to the control condition. Specific Aim 3: Assess whether engagement with the intervention (e.g., adherence to daily micropractices) is associated with improvements in psychosocial outcomes. Hypothesis 3: Greater engagement with the mindfulness and identity-based micropractices will be associated with greater improvements in well-being and greater reductions in distress across the study period. Exploratory Aim: Evaluate participants' experiences with the intervention, including perceived benefits, challenges, and contextual relevance of the micropractices. This aim will be addressed through qualitative feedback collected during the study period. The investigators will characterize common themes related to usability, relevance, and barriers to engagement, and will examine whether the intervention meets predefined criteria for feasibility and acceptability.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Mindfulness and Identity Condition
Participants will be assigned to complete a brief daily micropractice that integrates mindfulness (e.g., attention to breathing or present-moment awareness) with reflection on personally meaningful aspects of identity. The micropractice is delivered via a mobile-accessible platform over a 30-day period.
Comportamentale: Mindfulness and Identity-Based Micropractice
Participants will complete a brief daily micropractice (approximately 1-5 minutes per day) that integrates mindfulness (e.g., attention to breathing or present-moment awareness) with reflection on personally meaningful aspects of identity. The micropractice is co-designed with members of the target population, standardized prior to the trial, and delivered via a mobile-accessible platform.
Comparatore attivo: Control Condition
Participants will be assigned to complete a brief daily activity matched in structure, duration, and delivery format, but without mindfulness or identity-based content. Activities focus on neutral reflections (e.g., daily routines or surroundings) and are delivered via a mobile-accessible platform over a 30-day period.
Comportamentale: Control Condition Micropractice
Participants will complete a brief daily activity (approximately 1-5 minutes per day) matched in structure and delivery format to the intervention condition, but without mindfulness or identity-based content. Activities include neutral reflections (e.g., daily routines or surroundings) and are delivered via a mobile-accessible platform.

Lasso di tempo
Acceptability (Acceptability of Intervention Measure [AIM])
Lasso di tempo: Assessed at post-intervention (30 days) and 3-month follow-up.
Assessed using four items measuring participant-reported implementation outcome items evaluating approval, liking, and overall acceptance of the assigned activity. Responses are given on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability.
