In a state ravaged by suicide and a mental health crisis, this study sought to mitigate impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depressive and anxiety symptomology in high school students in a rural Montana community. Through a seven-week, twice weekly intervention of trauma-informed yoga, participants experienced statistically significant reductions in anxiety (GAD-7) and increases in Strengths and Difficulties (SDQ-11) overall scores and some subscales; noteworthy improvements were also present in depressive symptomatology (PHQ-A), salivary cortisol levels, and sleep duration. Importantly, participant qualitative feedback indicated significant benefits in focus, relaxation, and overall well-being. Further research is needed to imply generalizability and should include a larger, more diverse sample as well as utilization of control groups and an examination of academic and behavioral impacts at the school level.
在一个饱受自杀和心理健康危机蹂躏的州，这项研究旨在减轻蒙大拿州农村社区高中生童年不良经历（ACEs）以及抑郁和焦虑症状的影响。通过为期七周、每周两次的创伤知情瑜伽干预，参与者在焦虑（广泛性焦虑量表-7）方面有统计学意义的显著降低，在优势与困难问卷（SDQ-11）总分及一些子量表得分上有所提高；抑郁症状（患者健康问卷-A）、唾液皮质醇水平和睡眠时间也有显著改善。重要的是，参与者的定性反馈表明在注意力、放松和整体幸福感方面有显著益处。需要进一步研究以推断其普遍性，研究应纳入更大、更多样化的样本，以及设立对照组，并考察学校层面的学业和行为影响。
