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 measure physical and mental health outcomes in adolescents resulting from a trauma-informed yoga intervention designed to foster positive youth development and student success. It builds on feasibility study for year one in which 19 experimental condition participants engaged in an 8-week yoga program.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in Salivary Cortisol Levels
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 changed cortisol levels. A biostatistician will provide analysis and conclusion of these samples at the conclusion of the study; the mean change pre vs. post is provided here. Negative change indicates improvement in stress levels.
