This study investigates the impact of mindfulness-based intervention for children undergoing a blood-draw and their accompanying parent on (a) child ratings of pain and fear, (b) parent and child ratings of parent distress, and (c) parent perceptions of child pain and fear. Half of the parent-child pairs will receive the mindfulness-based intervention, while half will receive an unfocused-attention task to serve as a comparison with no active component.
