Summary

This pilot study aims to evaluate the effects of a 10-week online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) intervention on stress and inflammatory outcomes in a sample of emerging adults with a history of early life adversity. 15 participants (ages 18-29) with a history of childhood trauma will receive online, group-based MBSR sessions over 10 weeks. At pre- and post-intervention, participants will complete laboratory assessments, including self-report questionnaires and blood sample collection to assess markers of inflammation. Data assessing subjective and physiological stress in daily life will be collected for one week at pre- and post-intervention. This preliminary data will be used to test effects of online MBSR on health-relevant outcomes among young adults with a history of childhood trauma.
