Abstract
This quasi-experimental exploratory study assessed the relationship between mindfulness and QoL among middle school-aged adolescents of color. Participants exhibited improved mood, as suggested by a decrease in total CDI score, negative feelings, and anhedonia. Effect modification by gender was also observed, with greater effects among female participants compared to male.
