| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A mindfulness program .b for children developed in the U.K. was introduced to Japan and its feasibility and effectiveness were examined through a multicenter collaborative study.
First, the program materials were translated into Japanese prepared in collaboration with MiSP (UK), the developer of the program, and a system was established to implement a 4-day teacher training program. An online platform and website were also created to support teachers. Teachers implemented the program in their own fields and evaluated its effectiveness. The program was implemented in 13 schools with a total of 250 middle and high school students, and significant effects were suggested by various psychological indices such as depression and well-being. Short video contents and related books were also translated and published.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本邦では子どもに対する系統的なマインドフルネスプログラムは存在しておらず、また実践研究は少なく、効果検証は殆どなされていないのが実情である。
本研究において、10週間にわたる系統的なマインドフルネスプログラムを我が国に導入し、その指導者養成システムを設立できたことの意義は大きい。さらに、一般の中高生の教育にユニバーサルにマインドフルネスを取り入れ、プログラム受講者のポジティブな効果を複数フィールド試験で検証できたことの意義は大きい。マインドフルネスのユニバーサルな教育への導入が、子どもたちの心理的健康の増進や、本邦において深刻である青少年の心の問題に大きく寄与できる可能性が示唆された。
