Mindfulness-based approaches for adults are effective at enhancing mental health, but few controlled trials have evaluated their effectiveness or cost-effectiveness for young people. The primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a mindfulness training (MT) programme to enhance mental health, wellbeing and social-emotional behavioural functioning in adolescence.
METHODS/DESIGN: To address this aim, the design will be a superiority, cluster randomised controlled, parallel-group trial in which schools offering social and emotional provision in line with good practice (Formby et al., Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education: A mapping study of the prevalent models of delivery and their effectiveness, 2010; OFSTED, Not Yet Good Enough: Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education in schools, 2013) will be randomised to either continue this provision (control) or include MT in this provision (intervention). The study will recruit and randomise 76 schools (clusters) and 5700 school students aged 12 to 14 years, followed up for 2 years.
The study will contribute to establishing if MT is an effective and cost-effective approach to promoting mental health in adolescence.

基于正念的成人方法在促进心理健康方面有效，但很少有对照试验评估其对年轻人的有效性或成本效益。本试验的主要目的是评估正念训练（MT）计划在促进青少年心理健康、幸福和社会情感行为功能方面的有效性和成本效益。
方法/设计：为实现这一目标，设计将采用优势、整群随机对照平行组试验，其中符合良好实践提供社会和情感教育的学校（Formby等人，《个人、社会、健康和经济（PSHE）教育：对普遍实施模式及其有效性的映射研究》，2010年；教育标准局，《还不够好：学校中的个人、社会、健康和经济教育》，2013年）将被随机分为继续提供此类教育（对照组）或在此类教育中纳入MT（干预组）。该研究将招募并随机分配76所学校（群组）和5700名12至14岁的学生，随访2年。
该研究将有助于确定MT是否是促进青少年心理健康的有效且具有成本效益的方法。
