“…Consistent with these conclusions, Castellanos et al’s ( 2020 ) systematic review and meta-analysis exploring the effectiveness of cultural adaptations of MBAs for Latinx individuals noted that culturally adapted MBAs were associated with stress reduction as well as improvement in depressive symptoms, stress management, and chronic illness management. Furthermore, MBAs resulted in a moderate-to-large effect of the interventions on psychiatric distress relative to scores in the comparison group.…”

“…Recent decades have seen the proliferation of research focused on extending MBAs to minoritized groups (Castellanos et al, 2020 ; Cotter & Jones, 2020 ). Compared to the hallmark research in this area that has relied extensively on non-Latinx individuals, the scientific literature pertaining to the application of MBAs for Latinx individuals is relatively nascent and comparatively less rigorous.…”

“…In the meta-analysis conducted by Cotter and Jones ( 2020 ), many of the studies they included were characterized by small sample sizes, a lack of rigorous research designs, and a lack of long-term tracking of health-related outcomes post-intervention. The meta-analysis conducted by Castellanos et al ( 2020 ) also noted some limitations hindering progress in this area, including a lack of detailed description regarding the adaptations made to treatment protocols and methodological designs that did not include randomization or treatment by group comparisons.…”

“…Latinx individuals are underrepresented in research studies on MBAs (Castellanos et al, 2020;Chin et al, 2019;Cotter & Jones, 2020;DeLuca et al, 2018). For example, Waldron et al (2018) found that across randomized controlled trial studies (N = 69), Latinx individuals represented only 4% of total participants.…”

Objectives This article represents a call to action for the mindfulness field to be more diverse and inclusive of Latinx individuals. Building a diverse and inclusive science around mindfulness-based approaches (MBAs) that considers important group-level cultural and contextual information is an important public health challenge in need of innovative solutions. Methods We describe ways that the Latinx population is poised to benefit from MBAs. We further elucidate challenges, describe potential solutions, and outline a research agenda that may hold promise for building a more inclusive mindfulness movement. Results Our recommendations center around developing nuanced cultural adaptations to MBAs, engaging Latinx individuals in research, increasing the rigor of scientific studies pertaining to Latinx individuals, relying on implementation science to develop innovative methods for disseminating MBAs to Latinx individuals, developing training and certification mechanisms to increase diversity and representation of Latinx mindfulness teachers, and creating mechanisms for the oversight of MBAs within this group. Conclusions There has been a lack of inclusivity of Latinx individuals in the field of MBAs with regards to research studies, barriers to access for economically disadvantaged groups, and lack of diversity in its workforce. Considering the recognition of adverse social drivers of health that generate chronic stress and health disparities, the Latinx population is especially poised to benefit greatly from MBAs. A diverse and inclusive mindfulness science holds promise to enhance the effectiveness, acceptability, feasibility, and wide-scale dissemination and implementation of MBAs.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented psychological impact, revealing immense emotional disturbances among the general population. This study examined the extent to which social connectedness, dispositional mindfulness, and coping moderate symptoms of anxiety and depression in 1242 adults under the same government-issued COVID-19 stay-at-home mandate. Participants completed measures of anxiety, depression, dispositional mindfulness, social connectedness, and coping, and regression analyses were used to examine associations and interaction effects. Results indicated that social connectedness and dispositional mindfulness were associated with reduced symptoms. For individuals living with a partner, decreased mindfulness and avoidant coping were associated with anxious symptoms. In households with children, overutilization of approach coping served to increase symptoms of depression. Results indicate the importance of considering social connectedness, mindfulness, and coping in counseling to enhance factors serving to protect clients during a public health crisis. Implications for professional counselors and areas of future research are discussed.

The authors implemented an A–B–A with follow‐up quasi‐experimental single‐case research design to assess the effectiveness of a consumer‐grade neurofeedback (NFB)‐assisted mindfulness‐based intervention (MBI) for reducing anxiety in high‐achieving high school students (N = 5). Three of the participants from racial/ethnic minority and lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds reported reduced anxiety as measured by the State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory for Youth (STAI‐Y) during the intervention. In contrast, the two participants who identified as White, higher SES did not report decreased anxiety during the intervention. Results provide initial support for the use of the NFB‐assisted MBI used in this study as a brief, targeted intervention for highly anxious, high‐achieving high school students—specifically those from racial/ethnic minority and lower SES backgrounds. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
