Outline of Final Research Achievements	We investigated the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT). MBCT has appeared to be effective for the improvement on anxiety symptoms compared to the controlled group (STAI-state mean difference: -10.1). With respect to cost effectiveness, the point estimate of incremental cost effectiveness ratio ranged between JPY 18,571,429/QALY and JPY 37,142,857/QALY. Evaluation on long-term effect is needed in future research.
