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 mean

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

Active substance
Mindfulness-Based Queer Resilience (MBQR) - an online group mindfulness program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new way to help young gay and bisexual men cope with stress and reduce their risk of HIV.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 19 participants, designed to test feasibility, not effectiveness. The results may not apply to a larger or more diverse group.
