Summary

This study tested whether teens on probation would use a meditation app called Bodhi AIM for one month. Researchers wanted to see if it was possible to collect data remotely on cannabis use, sexual health, and mental health. The study involved 107 teens aged 13-18 in Cook County, Illinois. It focused on whether the app was practical to use, not on whether it actually changed behavior.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bodhi AIM smartphone app (mindfulness meditation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple app-based meditation program is a practical way to support teens in the legal system.
What could go wrong
This was a small feasibility study with only 107 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app's impact on actual behavior change was not measured.
