Abstract
Participants took part in either a brief online mindful breathing or control (time management) intervention. Mindful breathing participants showed significantly decreased depressive and ADHD symptoms post-intervention. Though conducted in a non-clinical population, study results lend support for the efficacy of online mindfulness-based interventions for depression and ADHD in young adults.
