NCT ID NCT05540652
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an online mindfulness program called Mindfulness-Based Queer Resilience (MBQR) for young gay, bisexual, and queer men at risk for HIV. Nineteen participants joined a nine-week group program to learn meditation and stress-reduction skills. The goal was to see if the program was feasible and acceptable, not yet to measure its impact on health outcomes.

What this could lead to
