Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA meta-analysis examined whether the personal meditation practice of instructors predicts the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions for children and adolescents. Findings indicate that interventions delivered by instructors with an ongoing personal meditation practice produce larger effect sizes than those delivered by instructors without such a practice. The results suggest that instructor meditation practice is a meaningful predictor of intervention outcomes in youth populations.
