The proposed study aims to gather the multiple types of preliminary data needed to design a large and rigorous pragmatic, cluster randomized trial on the impact of a trauma-informed mindfulness-based yoga program on enhancing self-regulation (in the short-term) and reducing recidivism (in the long-term) among juvenile justice-involved youth. Such a study will ultimately provide more definitive outcomes related to the effectiveness of these programs this population. If effective, the assimilation of such programs into the treatment plans of youth in juvenile justice facilities and in other residential settings could have a significant impact on a range of health, educational, vocational, and interpersonal outcomes relevant to this population.
