Abstract
Purpose Our research of MBSR for mostly female urban youth showed reductions in conflict, anxiety, and stress, as well as increased self-regulation. Reviews of mindfulness instruction suggest benefit but call for increased methodological rigor, particularly active control conditions. Here, we explore the specific effects of MBSR compared with an active control on stress and coping among young urban males.
