Summary

This study looked at whether practicing mindfulness can reduce chronic stress and lower colon cancer risk factors in Black women aged 45-65 who live in high-crime Chicago neighborhoods. Twenty-four women who had a past colon polyp and reported high stress took part. The goal was to see if the program was feasible and acceptable, not to measure cancer outcomes directly.
