Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot a primary-care based mindfulness intervention for chronically traumatized African Americans screening positive for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in primary care clinics within an urban public hospital. The study will utilize a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design along with a multi-method psychological and physiological assessment approach to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) intervention for primary care versus wait-list control in African Americans with chronic trauma exposure and comorbid PTSD and MDD. Preliminary mechanisms of action associated with MBCT including emotion dysregulation and autonomic function will be evaluated. The data collection and 8-session group intervention will take place in primary care clinics within an urban public hospital serving primarily low-income, minority individuals (\>80% African American).

Primary Outcome

Retention rates were assessed using session attendance. Previous mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) interventions among low-income minority populations have yielded completion rates of 53-80%. Based on 80% completion rates of MBSR in primary care and 75% completion rates of MBCT both in combat vet samples and the anticipated improved accessibility through primary care, it is expected that subjects in the intervention group will evidence at least 75% retention and follow-up rates.
