Summary
This trial will explore whether having both an adolescent and their parent/caregiver participate in a mindfulness intervention together has additive effects on the adolescent's mental health symptoms, compared to when only the adolescent participates.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for teens aged 12-17 with anxiety or depression and their parents/caregivers. Both must speak English well enough to use an English-only digital mindfulness program, have a smartphone, and agree to download the program. They can't join if they're already receiving mindfulness therapy, taking certain medications, or have specific mental health conditions like bipolar disorder or autism.
What is being tested?
The Kind Minds Program is being tested to see if it helps reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in youth when both the teen and parent practice mindfulness together. The study compares outcomes between families where only the teen participates versus those where both teen and parent engage in the 9-week online program.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves a non-invasive mindfulness program, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort while reflecting on personal thoughts during mindfulness practices.
