Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility, behavioral/neural mechanisms, and preliminary efficacy of "MINDfulness-based Substance Use Prevention Program," or "MINDS-UP", a novel substance use prevention meditation intervention for children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 14. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is MINDS-UP feasible and what is its preliminary efficacy?
2. Are MRI protocol and procedures feasible?
An additional exploratory question is:
Are there neural and psychopathological mechanisms through which MINDS-UP might work?
Researchers will compare Sport - Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) (an evidence based substance use prevention program) to Sport - Prevention Plus Wellness + MINDS-UP to examine the preliminary efficacy of MINDS-UP.
Participants will
* take assessment #1
* have 2 MRIs and take MINDS-UP, just take MINDS-UP or have a delayed start
* take assessment #2
* take PPW, a single remote and research assistant-delivered 45-minute session
* take assessment #3
* take assessment #4
