Brief Summary

Given the prevalence of suicide and mental health issues in rural Montana, this project is intended to help mitigate stressors that may contribute to poor behavioral and mental health in high school-aged children. The immediate goal is to determine viability of a partnership with a rural southwestern Montana school and test the feasibility of a piloted implementation of a trauma-informed yoga intervention to address behavioral health outcomes and positive youth development.

Conditions

Depression, Anxiety; Adolescent Behavior; Stress

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Salivary Cortisol Testing

  Students will provide a saliva sample in which cortisol levels will be analyzed through salivary assay kits (through Salimetrics.com). Samples will be collected on the first day of the intervention, halfway through the intervention, and on the last day of the intervention to determine if the intervention has improved stress levels (as indicated by a reduction in cortisol levels). A biostatistician will provide analysis and conclusion of these samples at the conclusion of the study.

  Baseline and 4 weeks (Midpoint)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Anxiety Scale

  Baseline and 7 weeks after beginning of intervention

• Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents

  Baseline and 7 weeks after beginning of intervention

• Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for Ages 11-17 (Overall Score)

  Baseline and 7 weeks after beginning of intervention
