Adolescent anxiety is a growing public health concern associated with significant social and emotional impairment. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have shown promise in reducing anxiety and improving well-being; however, engagement remains challenging. Virtual reality (VR)-based delivery may enhance immersion and attention, potentially addressing barriers of traditional mindfulness...
Dementia caregiving entails chronic, fluctuating stress with downstream risks to caregivers' mental health and quality of care. Mindfulness-based interventions can reduce caregiver stress; however, moment-to-moment fluctuations in stress may limit receptivity to practice at any given time. We developed a brief mindfulness just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) that aims to deliver support...
Informal caregivers of people with dementia experience significant caregiving stress. Mindfulness-based interventions are effective approaches for alleviating caregiving stress. However, traditional mindfulness training is intensive and challenging to attend due to the substantial caregiving responsibilities of this population, leading to issues with program attrition and adherence. To address...
Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have shown promise in reducing stress among family caregivers (FCs) of people with dementia (PWD). However, the long-term stress-relieving effects of traditional MBIs are often limited by challenges in maintaining regular practice, leading to issues with adherence and attrition. To address these limitations, this study protocol aims to test a novel...

Single-session mindfulness-based interventions could be a promising yet under-researched approach to enhancing their mental well-being within their unpredictable, time-constrained contexts. This trial will evaluate the...
