项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will create and evaluate the feasibility of a mindfulness substance abuse prevention for late elementary school-aged children, called MasterMind. Children will participate in activities focused on the foundations of mindfulness (e.g., awareness of thoughts) and these activities will be comprised of mindful movements and mindful journeys (e.g., meditation). Additionally, children will learn how to apply the mindfulness skills to their everyday lives. The main objective will be to develop an evidence-based, easy-to-use program for teachers to enhance children's mindfulness skills which should, in turn, positively influence children's social and emotional skills, and reduce their intentions to use substances in the future. In Phase I of the project, the overall program will be developed with input from both mindfulness and teacher consultants. Elementary school teachers and children will participate in separate activity meetings to preview the twenty lessons and provide feedback on the program. Teachers will also be recruited to complete a web- based survey assessing the feasibility of implementing the MasterMind curriculum into their daily teaching schedules. Finally, a feasibility study of the revised and finalized program will be conducted in two elementary school classrooms. Teachers' and students' responses to pre- and post-test questionnaires and input on the feasibility of the program will be obtained. Pending the results of the pilot program, Phase II will involve revising the program and evaluating its effectiveness in a randomized controlled trial for teaching children mindfulness skills that will influence their coping and regulatory behaviors, thereby reducing their intentions to use alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Mindfulness-based preventive interventions have been found to be associated with reductions in alcohol and drug use, anxiety, and negative affect and increases in attention and self-awareness. The purpose of this project is to (1) develop the prototype for a mindfulness-based curriculum and (2) evaluate the feasibility of the program. The proposed program will be designed as an easy-to use, attractive, research-based preventive intervention program to be taught by late elementary school teachers to their students that utilizes active learning methods. This project will result in the development of a commercially available, empirically-tested educational tool that can be used in elementary school settings and community-based programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的项目将创建并评估为晚期小学儿童（称为Mastermind）预防滥用正念药物的可行性。孩子们将参加集中于正念基础的活动（例如，对思想的认识），这些活动将由正念运动和正念的旅程（例如，冥想）组成。此外，孩子们将学习如何将正念技能应用于日常生活。主要目标是制定一个循证，易于使用的计划，以增强儿童的正念技能，反过来又应该对儿童的社会和情感技能产生积极影响，并减少他们将来使用物质的意图。在该项目的第一阶段，整体计划将通过正念和教师顾问的投入来制定。小学教师和儿童将参加单独的活动会议，以预览二十堂课，并提供有关该计划的反馈。还将招募教师来完成基于网络的调查，以评估将策划课程实施到日常教学时间表中的可行性。最后，将在两个小学教室中对经修订和最终确定的计划进行可行性研究。教师和学生对测试前和测试后问卷的回答以及有关该计划可行性的意见。在试点计划的结果之前，第二阶段将涉及修改该计划，并在一项随机对照试验中评估其有效性，以教给孩子的正念技能，这将影响他们的应对和调节行为，从而减少使用酒精，烟草和其他药物的意图。公共卫生相关性：发现基于正念的预防干预措施与饮酒和吸毒，焦虑以及负面影响以及注意力和自我意识的增加有关。该项目的目的是（1）开发基于正念的课程的原型，以及（2）评估程序的可行性。拟议的计划将被设计为一种易于使用的，有吸引力的基于研究的预防性干预计划，该计划将由已故小学教师向利用活跃学习方法的学生讲授。该项目将导致开发商业可用的经验测试的教育工具，该工具可用于小学环境和基于社区的计划。
