Discussion of the 2010 Mindfulness Pilot Study for Minority Children

The 2010 pilot study by Liehr and Diaz examining the effect of mindfulness on minority children highlighted several key discussion points:

  1. Findings suggest that mindfulness may be a promising approach to help minority children cope with feelings of sadness and anxiousness.
  2. A larger sample size might demonstrate a greater effect size of mindfulness in improving depressive symptoms in minority children, indicating that future research should be conducted with larger cohorts.
  3. The curriculum proposed by Mindfulschools.org provided both a solid structure for testing and the flexibility necessary for presenting mindfulness to children of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
