Summary

Young adults (aged 18-30) with a concussion history (defined as experiencing a concussion within the past five years but not within the past month) will complete a six-week mindfulness intervention. Throughout the intervention, participants will complete 10-20 minutes of mindfulness-focused exercises and meditations each day using the LoveYourBrain Foundation Meditation Library. Before the intervention, participants will complete a baseline assessment including demographics, concussion history, mental health history, mindfulness history, perceived stress, mindfulness, and concussion symptoms. Throughout the intervention, participants will complete weekly assessments measuring adherence and concussion symptoms. After six weeks, participants will complete a final, follow-up assessment with assessments for adherence, acceptability, feasibility, intervention perceptions, perceived stress, mindfulness, and concussion symptoms.

This study's aim is to determine the acceptability, feasibility, usability, and effectiveness of a mindfulness intervention in young adults with a concussion history. The investigators hypothesize that participants who participate in the mindfulness intervention will report high adherence (complete five days of meditation per week), positive acceptability, positive feasibility, and positive intervention perceptions. Additionally, after completing the intervention, participants will report decreased perceived stress, increased mindfulness, and decreased concussion symptoms compared to before the intervention.
