Assessing MB-Spirit for Psychological Well-being
Sponsor: Sara W Lazar
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new behavioral intervention, MB-Spirit, can improve well-being in stressed adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can MB-Spirit improve well-being? 2. What brain changes accompany participation in MB-Spirit? Participants will: 1. Be enrolled in an online course that meets for two hours every week for 8-weeks. 2. Complete questionnaires before and after the course. 3. Complete an MRI scan of their brain before and after the course. Participants will be randomized to either take the course right away, or be put on a wait-list. Those on the wait-list will undergo the testing at 2 timepoints before they start the program.
