Interventions

  • Bodhi AIM — BEHAVIORAL
    Bodhi AIM (Action In Mindfulness) is a smartphone-based app that teaches users to establish a daily meditation practice via a 30-day "path," with each day consisting of a brief audio- or video-guided file. In addition to the 30 daily path files, users have access to a menu of "to go" audio-guided meditation practices that they may access any time to prepare for particular situations (e.g., attending a party).
  • HIB — BEHAVIORAL
    HIB (Health In Balance) is a smartphone-based app that is matched to Bodhi AIM for time and structure, but includes health promotion content (e.g., educational information on substance use) in place of the meditation content featured in Bodhi AIM. Like Bodhi AIM, HIB includes a 30-day "path" of audio and video files, along with a menu of "to go" audio files that users may access any time to review key intervention concepts.

Study Details

This multi-site feasibility clinical trial aims to assess the feasibility of implementing a 1-month app-based meditation program with youth in 4 heterogeneous juvenile legal systems across Oregon and New York. The primary question it is designed to answer is: Will youth adequately adhere to the 1-month meditation app across sites? Secondary feasibility outcomes pertain to recruitment, randomization, retention, and survey completion.
