Understanding how adolescents engage in mindfulness-based intervention: A mixed methods study of engagement processes
Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) improves mental health outcomes in adolescents; however, effects tend to be small, and findings have been inconsistent. Engagement (i.e., productive involvement) has been positively associated with outcomes in other types of mental health interventions, suggesting it may play a role in MBI. However, it is unclear how engagement functions in the context of MBI for adolescents. The purpose of this mixed methods …
Does the experience of mentoring youth affect mentors' mental health and wellbeing
Engaging in positive campus opportunities amid stress or strain may help support college student mental health and wellbeing. This study examined whether participating in a service-learning course as mentors to youth exposed to adversities was related to college students' mental health and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (N = 548; 18-41 years old; M age = 20.03) included 112 college student mentors enrolled in the service-lea…
Environmental and Individual Risk as Moderators of a Site‐Based Mentoring Program for Adolescents Exposed to Adversities
It is currently unclear if individual and environmental risk factors impact youth experiences of mentoring. The goal of this study was to clarify the moderating effect of individual and environmental risk factors on mentoring programs outcomes. Participants were 676 youth (10–19 years‐old) and their guardians engaged in a site‐based, targeted mentoring program. Results revealed that youth with greater individual risk factors compared to fewer ris…
Self-regulation and behavioral risk factors for obesity in youth facing multiple adversities
The current study highlights the potential role of emotion regulation in obesity prevention efforts and identifies unique associations between specific facets of emotion regulation and health behaviors among youth exposed to adversity. Public health and obesity prevention efforts that target emotion regulation and coping skills may be particularly beneficial in promoting health behaviors in this population. Findings underscore the need for future…

Bi-Directional and Time-Lagged Associations between Engagement and Mental Health Symptoms in a Group Mindfulness-Based Mental Health Intervention
There is a high need for accessible avenues for improving mental health among emerging adults, particularly on college campuses. Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) is a promising avenue for reducing mental health symptoms, but initial discomforts associated with MBI may cause symptoms to fluctuate before decreasing, which presents a barrier to engagement with mindfulness on a daily basis. Consistent mindfulness practice is key for forming habit…
Associations Between Children's Emotion Regulation, Mindful Parenting, Parent Stress, and Parent Coping During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Stress among parents has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research prior to the pandemic indicates that parents of children who struggle with emotion regulation (ER) and who themselves are less mindful report more stress and diminished coping abilities. We know little, however, about these associations in the context of COVID-19. To prevent COVID-related deteriorations in parent well-being and child outcomes and to support parents during t…
