Brief Summary:
The primary aim of this study is to explore the feasibility acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of CBRT intervention among African Americans compared to a wait-list control group The specific objectives include assessing feasibility gathering participant feedback evaluating CBRTs impact on psychological and biological outcomes and exploring the mediating role of mindfulness
The study is a 1-group pretest-posttest design 20 African American participants will be recruited from various sources and undergo baseline and follow-up assessments The intervention involves a 10-week CBRT program focusing on mindfulness compassion self-awareness and stress-reduction techniques Measures include sociodemographics and psychological measures race-based stress depression perceived stress quality of life social connectedness sleep and resilience and biological measures allostatic load saliva cortisol telomere length and gene expression Data is collected at baseline and 10 weeks

Detailed Description:
Racism and racial discrimination profoundly affect mental and physical health among historically disenfranchised ethnic groups including Black Indigenous and People of Color BIPOC The negative health impacts are evident in elevated mortality rates early disease onset and increased comorbidity burden among BIPOC individuals This study seeks to address these health disparities by investigating the potential of Contemplative-Based Resilience Training CBRT to mitigate the impact of racism-related stress CBRT holds promise in countering the neurobiological changes attributed to chronic stress aligning with the weathering hypothesis and Allostatic load theory
The primary aim of this pilot study is to explore the feasibility acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of CBRT intervention among African Americans compared to a waitlist control group The specific objectives include assessing feasibility gathering participant feedback evaluating CBRTs impact on psychological and biological outcomes and exploring the mediating role of mindfulness
The study utilizes a one-group pretest-posttest design where participants are recruited from various sources and undergo baseline and follow-up assessments The intervention involves a ten-week Cognitive-Based Resilience Training CBRT program focusing on developing mindfulness compassion self-awareness and stress-reduction techniques The study measures include socio-demographics and psychological measures such as race-based stress depression perceived stress quality of life social connectedness sleep and resilience as well as biological measures including allostatic load saliva cortisol telomere length and gene expression Data is collected at baseline and after ten weeks of the program
Feasibility will be assessed based on recruitment rates retention attendance and qualitative feedback The impact of CBRT will be evaluated through various statistical analyses considering intention-to-treat principles and controlling for covariates Preliminary findings from a pilot investigation with 20 African-American participants suggest associations between psychological measures mindfulness sleep coping resilience and racism-induced stress These results underscore the potential of CBRT in addressing complex relationships among these factors By investigating the potential benefits of CBRT in alleviating racism-induced stress and associated health disparities this research aims to contribute insights into mindfulness-based interventions to address racism-related stress and its broader implications for the well-being of BIPOC communities
