This study explores whether a mindfulness and yoga program improves urban public school students' ability to cope with stress and reduces use of drugs and alcohol. The study includes 250 fifth and sixth grade students across six Baltimore City schools; these students will be followed from 2011 - 2013. Three schools received the mindfulness program last year, and the other three schools served as comparisons. The mindfulness program was developed by The Holistic Life Foundation, a Baltimore-based non-profit organization that promotes positive development among urban youth. This is an exciting opportunity to study the effects of mindfulness and yoga on children, a new research area that is gaining attention. Learn more about our team's previous research and about the Holistic Life Foundation in the article and video clip on NBC's African American news website, the Grio:  http://www.thegrio.com/health/yogaurban-schools.php  

The primary responsibility is to assist in conducting assessments with participating students (they are now in the 6th and 7th grades) and their teachers at 6 Baltimore City Schools. Student assessments include surveys, as well as cognitive tests and physical measures (blood pressure, balance, lung capacity).

Preferred schedule – in order to work with students’ course load, flexibility is advantageous; a range of options is appreciated, but please be specific about any event or attendance requirements that are not negotiable. Please state hours of operation.

We will be conducting assessments in Baltimore City Schools from ~7:30am-2:30pm Mondays through Fridays. Availability to work these hours during at least ONE weekday is required for the position.

Course credit may be provided if feasible. Transportation costs will be reimbursed.

This is a great opportunity to learn first-hand about research with relevance for public health and psychology. Research assistants will gain valuable skills for conducting assessments with youth and adults and will learn key concepts about the design and implementation of school-based randomized prevention trials.

A research team within the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is studying whether a mindfulness and yoga program promotes positive outcomes for 5th and 6th grade students. This three-year study in 6 Baltimore City public schools will assess whether our mindfulness and yoga program helps students cope with stress and reduces their use of alcohol and drugs by the 7th and 8th grades.

We are looking for individuals to join our research team and help us conduct assessments. Assessments include surveys for students and teachers, brief cognitive tests for students, and physiological measures from students, including blood pressure and lung capacity.  No prior training is required.

We are looking for:

Several research staff members will travel to schools together to conduct assessments.  We are working with the following Baltimore City elementary/middle schools: Beechfield, Edgecombe Circle, Dickey Hill, Glenmount, Rognel Heights, and Windsor Hills. It’s not necessary to have a car but this would be a big help to the project.

This is a terrific experience if you like working with kids and are interested in yoga/mindfulness or school-based research. You will get training in how to obtain informed consent and how to conduct assessments with urban youth and will receive ongoing supervision and guidance.

The study has already started so please get in touch as soon as possible!
