, despite the high comorbidity of these conditions and the popularity of mindfulness meditation as a calming therapy for children and adults with ADHD. The promise of mindfulness therapies, which are known to improve emotional regulation skills and decrease aggression, prompted this new research on children with ADHD and ODD, who experience difficulties in these very areas.
The boys in both groups were recruited from an associated outpatient hospital and were only enrolled in the study if they were not undergoing other ongoing pharmacological or psychosocial treatments, and met other criteria. All participants were tested on several mindfulness, behavioral, and attentional measures prior to the program’s commencement and conclusion. Data was collected via child-, parent-, and teacher-completed scales and questionnaires.
