Mindfulness Intervention
Hybrid MAPs course will be delivered by a Spanish-speaking Latina certified mindfulness instructor, with a blend of in-person instruction, online instruction and asynchronous (audio-recorded) content instruction over 6-wks. There will be three live-2hr classes (2 in-person, 1 online) and three 3 weeks of 1-hr self-guided audio/week asynchronous content (1hr/wk). Additionally, the instructor will invite the intervention group to join optional weekly via Zoom 1x/wk for 30-min sessions for time to encourage questions, dialogue, and brief group mindfulness practice opportunities. Class attendance and engagement with audio-recorded materials will be tracked. The study team will call or text participants weekly to maintain engagement, remind about any upcoming scheduled classes, and answer any questions. Participant attendance in classes (in-person and zoom) will be monitored.
