Primary Objective Examine the feasibility and acceptability of MBSR with YACs. We hypothesize that MBSR will be feasible and acceptable with this population, which will be assessed through examination of response rate and study attrition variables.
Secondary Objectives
1. Evaluate the effects of MBSR on outcomes of health related quality of life and disease symptoms among YACs.
2. Explore the impact of different forms of eHealth maintenance support following the MBSR intervention (instructor-delivered, peer-delivered, no message) to help uphold intervention effects over time.
3. Compare intervention and control groups on changes in biologic measures of stress (blood pressure, pulse, salivary cortisol, CRP and IL-6 biomarkers) over a 32-week period.
