Mindfulness shapes emotion regulation in non-clinical adolescents: Secondary outcomes of a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Adolescence, characterized by both remarkable brain plasticity and vulnerability to psychiatric disorders; represents a uniquely propitious time window for targeted early interventions.
