Mindfulness\u2010based interventions (MBIs) are being integrated into university stress\u2010reduction programmes globally. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta\u2010analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing MBI effects on university students\u2019 mental and physical health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched nine databases, including grey literature and trial registries.

In comparison with passive controls, and when measured shortly after intervention completion, MBIs improve distress, anxiety, depression, well\u2010being, rumination, and mindfulness with small to moderate effect sizes, with no benefit found for blood pressure, sleep, life satisfaction, resilience, worry, and thought suppression. Evidence for self\u2010compassion is inconclusive. Effects last beyond three months for distress and mindfulness, with no data on other outcomes. Compared with active control groups, MBIs significantly improve distress and state anxiety, but not mindfulness, depression, well\u2010being, affect, trait anxiety, or emotion regulation. Results were robust to adjustment for multiple testing, but RCTs\u2019 risk of bias is generally high. Moderator analyses did not find differential intervention effects according to intervention duration, delivery mode, or sub\u2010populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MBIs may be helpful to students but higher\u2010quality research is needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aphw.12188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]],"date-time":"2019-11-19T19:22:20Z","timestamp":1574191340000},"page":"384-410","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":257,"title":["Mindfulness\u2010Based Interventions for University Students: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Anna F.","family":"Dawson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William W.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard University Boston USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bella","family":"Datta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Hatfield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James N.","family":"Donald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney Business School Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University in St Louis School of Medicine St Louis USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Allan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of East Anglia and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tom B.","family":"Mole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Fulbourn UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter B.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4108-5341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julieta","family":"Galante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cambridge Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","volume-title":"The effect of mindfulness\u2010based stress reduction on stress, depression, self\u2010esteem and mindfulness in Thai nursing students: A randomised controlled trial","author":"Aeamla\u2010Or N.","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.86.5.726"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpr.2017.04.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470743386"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jrsm.1230"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13538322.2011.614468"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","unstructured":"Brown W.
