  • This mixed-methods study provides a comparison analysis of a cohort of U.S. Marine reservists who received a Mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT) as they prepared to deploy to Iraq to a control group of Marines from the same unit who did not receive the MMFT on levels of mindfulness, perceived stress, and personal outlook (e.g., noveltyseeking, flexibility, etc.). Those who engaged in MMFT reported greater levels of mindfulness, which were associated with decreased perceived stress.
