Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training for Aggression, Health, and Stress Among Law Enforcement Officers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training and Stress Management Education for Stress, Psychological and Aggression. Completed, enrolled 109 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Law enforcement officers (LEOs) are exposed to significant stressors, elevating their risk for aggression and excessive use of force, as well as mental health consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout, alcohol misuse, depression, and suicide. The proposed study will identify, optimize and refine best clinical and research practices across two sites to ensure success in a future multisite efficacy trial assessing preventative effects of Mindfulness-Based Resilience Training on physiological, behavioral, and psychological outcomes.
