Evaluation of an online mindfulness training for adolescents with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Aware Program, an online mindfulness education program, with adolescents (aged 12-19 years) with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome and one of their parents. The study was conducted online with participants from across the United States from December 2023 to July 2024. Adolescent and parent participants completed online pre- and post-test questionnaires (approximately 4-5 weeks apart) about adolescents' coping with stress, anxiety, emotion regulation, executive functioning, and global health. Participants also completed some basic demographic questions (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity). <br>
