Sarah Zoogman will discuss findings of a recent meta-analysis (Zoogman,
Goldberg, Hoyt, and Miller, 2012, under review) that examined the
effectiveness of mindfulness interventions with youth. A meta-analysis
combines findings from independent studies to evaluate treatment
effectiveness. The talk will include an overview of mindfulness
interventions, the research findings, and the implications of these
findings for future mindfulness interventions with children and
adolescents.
