Disseminating, applying and advancing mindfulness research to promote the wellbeing of young people.

在全球35个国家中，英国青少年的幸福感是最低的。[13-15]心理健康状况不佳与身体不健康、危险健康行为和旷课有关流行病学和心理生物学研究表明，促进青少年福祉可以有力地调节压力和心理逆境对健康和经济结果的影响。[16,18]在英国，改善青少年的健康状况现在是一项国家优先事项，迫切需要具有成本效益、以证据为基础的全校干预措施，帮助所有年轻人养成思维和行为习惯，以建立对日常逆境的适应能力，并在情感上蓬勃发展。[16,19 -22]英国学校有法定义务提供促进年轻人EWB的课程，超过70%的中学实施SEAL项目。这个计划是一个“宽松的授权框架”，鼓励学校根据本地需要调整实施方案MBA在促进福祉和实现海豹突击队目标方面表现出巨大的希望。[3-7]正念是一种以注意力为基础的练习，它能提高人们对自己的思想和感情的意识和调节，从而避免对过去的抑郁沉思和对未来的恐惧预期大量证据表明，MBA促进了成年人的幸福感[9- 11,23 -24]，探索性研究表明，MBA对年轻人也可能有效[8,25]。基于学校的MBA对EWB影响的探索性研究已经产生了有希望的发现，但迄今为止，这些研究规模较小，样本不具代表性。[3-7]随机对照试验不能进行，除非我们有一个适合EWB较差的最终用户的适合目的的全校计划。因此，我们需要加深对预期受益者和实施背景的理解，如果我们要成功地推动MBA在SEAL项目中向（难以接触到的）年轻人的应用。这个创造性的、以用户为主导的项目，将与用户和利益相关者建立一种集体理解，即MBA课程能否以及如何在学校实施，以促进学生的福祉。我们将探索组织和政策的影响，并制定影响的途径。我们将确定未来有效性试验的用户和利益相关者优先事项，并建立国际知识交流机制，以在项目生命周期之后维持伙伴关系。项目团队过去的成就，以及他们现有的伙伴关系，保证了项目实现其目标的潜力。该项目将从一开始就涉及年轻人（在学徒研究员团队中）和利益相关者，他们将为九个项目链中的每一个提供信息。在获得许可的情况下，我们将拍摄项目的各个方面，作为“墙上的苍蝇”纪录片，旨在捕捉集体理解产生的过程。经过专业编辑，这部纪录片将成为传播、对话和影响的有力、经济有效的工具。其他方面促进与利益相关者和受益者的知识传播、对话和共同生产，包括：综合现有知识用于传播；建立协作和沟通网络；了解应用环境、组织环境和政策框架；由年轻人举办的艺术展览，表达对幸福和压力的理解；为用户和利益相关者举办的讲习班；为不同用户量身定制内容（包括播客）的网络网站；举办全国会议，启动国际学校正念网络。项目过程和成果的评估将以多种方式进行，包括参与者反馈、网站点击和下载、政策制定者出席最终会议、建立新的伙伴关系以及针对非学术受众的出版物数量。

Adolescent wellbeing in the UK is amongst the lowest from 35 countries worldwide.[13-15] Poor mental health is associated with physical ill health, risky health behaviour [16] and school absenteeism.[17] Epidemiological and psychobiological studies indicate that promoting adolescent wellbeing can powerfully mediate the effects of stress and psychosocial adversity on health and economic outcomes.[16, 18] Improving adolescent wellbeing in the UK is now a national priority with urgent calls for cost-effective, evidence-based, whole school interventions that help all young people to develop habits of mind and behaviour to both build resilience to everyday adversity and to flourish emotionally.[16, 19-22] UK schools have a statutory duty to deliver a curriculum that promotes the EWB of young people, and over 70% of secondary schools implement the SEAL programme. This programme is a "loose enabling framework" to promoting EWB with schools encouraged to adapt implementation to local need.[2] MBA show significant promise in promoting wellbeing and delivering on SEAL objectives.[3-7] Mindfulness is an attention-based practice which promotes awareness and regulation of one's thoughts and feelings in ways that prohibit depressive rumination on the past and fearful anticipation of the future.[8] Substantial evidence indicates that MBA promote wellbeing among adults [9-11, 23-24], and exploratory studies suggest they may also be effective for young people.[8,25] Exploratory school based studies of the effects of MBA on EWB have produced promising findings, but to date these studies have been small, with unrepresentative samples.[3-7] Randomised controlled trials cannot be conducted until we have a fit-for-purpose, whole school programme, suitable for end-users whose EWB is poor. We therefore need to deepen our understanding of anticipated beneficiaries and the implementation context if we are to successfully promote the application of MBA to (hard-to-reach) young people within the SEAL programme.This creative, user-led project will build a collective understanding with users and stakeholders of if, and how, MBA can be implemented in schools to promote pupil wellbeing. We will explore organisational and policy influences, and develop routes to impact. We will identify user and stakeholder priorities for future trials of effectiveness and establish international knowledge exchange mechanisms to sustain partnerships beyond the life of the project. Past achievements by the project team, and their existing partnerships, underwrite the project's potential to deliver on its objectives. This project will involve young people (in an Apprentice Researcher Team) and stakeholders from the outset and they will inform each of the nine project strands. With permission, we will film aspects of the project as a 'fly on the wall' documentary, aiming to capture the process by which a collective understanding has been generated. Following professional editing, this documentary will constitute a powerful, cost-effective tool for dissemination, dialogue and impact. Otherstrands promote dissemination, dialogue and co-production of knowledge with stakeholders and beneficiaries and include: synthesising existing knowledge for dissemination; establishing a Network for collaboration and communication; placements to understand applied context, organisational climate and policy frameworks; an art exhibition by young people to represent understandings of wellbeing and stress; a workshop for users and stakeholders; a Network website with tailored content (including podcasts) for different users; hosting an national conference for the launch of the International Mindfulness in Schools Network. Evaluation of project process and outcomes will be conducted in multiple ways, including participant feedback, website hits and downloads, attendance of policymakers at the final conference, new partnerships formed and number of publications targeting non-academic audiences.
