DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project will complete the development of and evaluate the efficacy of Master Mind, a mindfulness education substance abuse prevention for late elementary school-aged children. Past research has found that mindfulness has many benefits for youth, such as increases in attention, social competence, and emotion regulation, as well as decreases in stress, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, and externalizing behaviors. Training in mindfulness may provide children with new ways to cope with stress and make healthy decisions in a variety of situations, thereby preventing children from turning to alcohol or tobacco to solve their problems. None of the existing substance abuse prevention curricula include any mindfulness training or application of mindfulness skills to children's everyday lives. The Master Mind program is designed to address these critical gaps in the content of contemporary prevention programming through providing developmentally appropriate, contemplative education practices. Hence, the development and marketing of an empirically- validated, mindfulness education, substance abuse prevention program for elementary school students can provide teachers, school administrators, and prevention specialists with a currently unavailable resource. In Master Mind, children participate in activitis focused on the foundations of mindfulness (e.g., awareness of thoughts) including mindful movements, mindful breathing, and mindful journeys, and most importantly, learn how to apply the mindfulness skills to their everyday lives. In Phase II of this project, the four-week Master Mind program will be completed with input from experts in mindfulness, yoga, children's self- regulation, instructional design, and implementation fidelity, as well as with input from elementary school teachers and students. In the first year of this project, elementary school students will participate in focus groups to preview the lessons and provide feedback on the mindfulness activities. Following this, a pilot study of the revised program will be conducted two elementary school classrooms (one 4th and one 5th) to observe the implementation of the revised Master Mind program and pilot the entire data collection protocol with teachers and students. In year two of the project, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial (20 intervention classrooms and 20 wait-list control classrooms) of the effectiveness of the Master Mind program for improving children's self-regulatory abilities and in turn, reducing their intentions to use and actual use of alcohol or tobacco.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议项目将完成 Master Mind 的开发并评估其功效，Master Mind 是一种针对小学高年级儿童的正念教育药物滥用预防方法。过去的研究发现，正念对青少年有很多好处，例如提高注意力、社交能力和情绪调节，以及减少压力、睡眠问题、抑郁、焦虑和外化行为。正念训练可以为儿童提供应对压力并在各种情况下做出健康决定的新方法，从而防止儿童通过酗酒或吸烟来解决问题。现有的药物滥用预防课程均不包括任何正念训练或正念技能在儿童日常生活中的应用。 Master Mind 计划旨在通过提供适合发展的、沉思性的教育实践来解决当代预防计划内容中的这些关键差距。因此，针对小学生开发和营销经经验验证的正念教育、药物滥用预防计划可以为教师、学校管理人员和预防专家提供目前无法获得的资源。在《Master Mind》中，孩子们参与专注于正念基础（例如，思想意识）的活动，包括正念运动、正念呼吸和正念旅程，最重要的是，学习如何将正念技能应用到日常生活中。在该项目的第二阶段，为期四周的Master Mind计划将在正念、瑜伽、儿童自我调节、教学设计和实施保真度方面的专家以及小学教师和学生的参与下完成。在该项目的第一年，小学生将参加焦点小组，预览课程并提供有关正念活动的反馈。此后，将在两个小学教室（一间第四教室和一间第五教室）对修订后的计划进行试点研究，以观察修订后的 Master Mind 计划的实施情况，并与教师和学生一起试点整个数据收集协议。在该项目的第二年，我们将进行一项随机对照试验（20 个干预教室和 20 个候补控制教室），以检验 Master Mind 计划对于提高儿童自我调节能力并进而降低他们使用电子产品的意图的有效性。以及实际饮酒或吸烟的情况。
