- 소개/요약This study evaluated the impact of the Fuel for Learning (FFL) Program, a mindfulness-based yoga and nutrition program on factors related to psychosocial well-being for children in urban low income schools. A pilot study found that following the FFL program, students decreased on teacher-rated inattention and student rated hyperactive and impulsive behaviors compared to a control group. The current study evaluated the impact of the FFL program on behavioral risk factors (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) and social emotional skills (self-awareness) for an economically disadvantaged and ethnically diverse sample of students across two urban schools. Data analysis was completed using Repeated Measures Multivariate Analysis of Variance (RM MANOVA). This study did not find significant differences between the intervention and control group on the dependent variables. To determine if school was a contributing factor for changes observed over time, school was included as an additional between subjects factor. A significant interaction was found between school and time on self-rated inattention, F(5, 49)=2.722, p=.03, where School A improved on self-rated inattention more than School B. A significant interaction was also found for school, group, and time on self-awareness, F(5, 49)=4.044, p=.004. Multiple contrasts and profile plots revealed that the control group in School A improved significantly compared to the control group in School B, mean difference =13.0174, p=.003. The results suggest that school level and classroom level factors are impacting changes observed on the dependent variables. Directions for future research and limitations with regard to study design and challenges in consistency in intervention implementation are discussed._x000D_
