Mindfulness-Based Intervention With a Supplement for Stress-Related Problems in College Students Across Multiple Sites (4SITE)

About This Study

The investigators hope to add to the feasible, acceptable, and effective interventions that offer reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress for students at U.S. colleges and universities, the majority of whom experience mental health problems but the minority of whom who receive adequate mental health support. By studying the extent to which a multi-modal supplement boosts effects for a mindfulness-based intervention (and comparing both to an active health education control program) to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress, the proposed research seeks to rigorously investigate complementary and integrative health interventions and their roles in improving health.
