Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of mindfulness-based meditation interventions (MBMIs) among Latino youth. Furthermore, joint parent-child participation in such programs is rare. Utilizing a community-based participatory research approach, this study evaluated the feasibility of a pilot bilingual MBMI among Latino adolescents and their parents in Los Angeles. Qualitative interviews were conducted to assess the practicality, implementation, and acceptability of the program. Challenges to attendance included health issues or conflicts with work. Several adolescents struggled with distractions from peers. However, overall responses suggest that parents and children found the program convenient and enjoyable, and perceived benefits from the curriculum. This study supports the feasibility of a MBMI among Latino family dyads.
鲜有研究评估正念冥想干预（MBMI）在拉丁裔青年中的有效性。此外，此类项目中父母与子女共同参与的情况也很少见。本研究采用社区参与式研究方法，评估了在洛杉矶为拉丁裔青少年及其父母提供试点双语 MBMI 的可行性。通过定性访谈评估了该计划的实用性、实施情况和可接受性。参加的挑战包括健康问题或与工作的冲突。一些青少年受到同伴干扰。然而，总体反应表明，父母和孩子认为该计划方便且有趣，并从课程中受益。本研究支持在拉丁裔家庭对子中开展 MBMI 的可行性。
