Abstract
Using a randomised within-subjects design, this study investigated the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on emotional distress and quality of life in twenty-two adolescents with a chronic condition. Results show an acute decrease in depression and stress from the end of intervention to the start of the follow-up phase.
