Most evaluations of\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s are either uncontrolled or nonrandomized trials. This meta\u2010analysis aims to establish the efficacy of\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s for children and adolescents in studies that have adopted a randomized, controlled trial (\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) design.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A systematic literature search of\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n s of\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s was conducted up to October 2017. Thirty\u2010three independent studies including 3,666 children and adolescents were included in random effects meta\u2010analyses with outcome measures categorized into cognitive, behavioural and emotional factors. Separate random effects meta\u2010analyses were completed for the seventeen studies (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0=\u00a01,762) that used an\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n design with an active control condition.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Across all\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n s we found significant positive effects of\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s, relative to controls, for the outcome categories of Mindfulness, Executive Functioning, Attention, Depression, Anxiety\/Stress and Negative Behaviours, with small effect sizes (Cohen's\n d<\/jats:italic>\n ), ranging from .16 to .30. However, when considering only those\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n s with active control groups, significant benefits of an\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n were restricted to the outcomes of Mindfulness (\n d\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n =\n \u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n .42), Depression (\n d\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n =\n \u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n .47) and Anxiety\/Stress (\n d\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n =\n \u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n .18) only.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n This meta\u2010analysis reinforces the efficacy of using\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s for improving the mental health and wellbeing of youth as assessed using the gold standard\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n methodology. Future\n RCT<\/jats:styled-content>\n evaluations should incorporate scaled\u2010up definitive trial designs to further evaluate the robustness of\n MBI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s in youth, with an
