The impact of mindfulness training in early adolescence on affective executive control, and on later mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic: a randomised controlled trial

Conclusions
There is no evidence that MT improves affective control or downstream mental health of young people during stressful periods.

Clinical implications
We need to identify interventions that can enhance affective control and thereby young people’s mental health.
