Summary

Title of research: A preliminary Randomised Controlled Study online Mindfulness-Based-Intervention for African-Caribbean men with Erectile Dysfunction

Research aim: How an online mindfulness intervention, based on a behavioral health taxonomy, might reduce symptoms of erectile dysfunction and increase sexual well-being among African-Caribbean men in the United Kingdom.

Research intention: If the Mindfulness-based intervention reduces symptoms of erectile dysfunction and increases sexual wellness, then we would repeat this study on a larger scale among Black, Asian, Minority, and Ethnic men via the National Health Service.

A brief overview of intervention: Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection in up to 75 to 100% of sexual attempts, including masturbation and sexual intercourse. It is typically very costly to treat on the National Health Service, using the combination of medication (e.g. Viagra) and psychosexual therapy.

The use of mindfulness in healthcare for varied psychosocial difficulties is gaining popularity. A meta-analysis on mindfulness and sexual dysfunction among men and women. Whilst gender differences were the priority focus of the analysis, it also looked at how well-represented cultural and minority groups were within the existing clinical trials. The review identified no studies relating to Black, Asian, Minority and Ethnic men with erectile dysfunction and mindfulness.

Quantitatively, the research is structured so that participants will be randomized to either the experimental or control group (n=34 experimental; n=34 control waitlist). A 2-month follow-up will be taken to determine the sustainability of this intervention.
