- 요약Internet-based mindfulness interventions offer a promising alternative to traditional in-person interventions, which are resource-intensive and less accessible to many populations. Although such interventions are increasingly popular, more research is needed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of brief, scalable formats. This dissertation examined the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness of a paraprofessional-led, internet-based mindfulness program, called Kind Minds, for adolescents with anxiety and depression, with or without caregiver involvement. Study 1 was a randomized controlled trial evaluating the feasibility and preliminary clinical outcomes of the Kind Minds (KM) program. Youth (N = 27) were randomized to a child-only condition or a family condition that included caregiver participation concurrently but separately from youth. Across both groups, youth reported high satisfaction and low attrition, though challenges were noted in recruiting Latinx families. Youth in both conditions demonstrated significant reductions in self-reported anxiety and depression symptoms over time. Diagnostic interviews post-intervention indicated that many youth no longer met criteria for anxiety or depression, with higher remission rates observed in the family condition. Exploratory analyses also found improvements in parenting behaviors and parents' emotion regulation, regardless of group assignment. To further contextualize these findings, Study 2, a qualitative study, was conducted to examine caregivers' perspectives of the KM program. Qualitative interviews were conducted with seven caregivers randomized to the family condition. Using rapid qualitative analyses, emerging themes included caregivers' discussion of personal gains in emotion regulation, as well as perceived improvements in their children's coping skills for anxiety and depression concerns. Caregivers additionally emphasized the value of one-on-one coaching and flexible delivery in increasing engagement with the intervention. Taken together, findings provide preliminary evidence that a brief, paraprofessional-led, internet-based mindfulness programs is a feasible and promising approach for supporting adolescents with internalizing disorders and suggest that family involvement in youth's mental health interventions may enhance clinical outcomes. Qualitative results underscore the importance of therapeutic alliance and flexible implementation in optimizing engagement and outcomes in digital mental health interventions. .
