NCT ID NCT06898658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a culturally tailored mindfulness program for 18 low-income, Spanish-speaking Latina pregnant women. The goal was to see if the program could reduce stress and improve markers of inflammation and blood sugar control. Participants were split into two groups: one received the mindfulness training right away, the other waited. Researchers measured changes in stress, depression, and blood-based health markers before and after the program.
