Meditation Programs in Schools and Outcomes. Several studies have tested the effects of meditation using randomized controlled trials in elementary and secondary schools with outcomes that include:

•Improved executive functioning, for example:

•Improved self-control and self-awareness among children ages 7-9 who initially lack such skills (Flook et al. 2010)

•Improved attention skills among elementary school children (Schonert-Reichl and Lawlor 2010; Napoli, Krech, and Holley 2005; Zylowska et al. 2008)

•Reduced stress and anxiety, for example:

•Decreased anxiety among students in grades 7-8 (Semple, Reid, and Miller 2005) •Decreased test anxiety in students grades 1-3 (Napoli, Krech, and Holley 2005) •Decreased blood pressure in youths ages 6-18 (Black, Milam, and Sussman 2009; Barnes, Beiser, and Treiber 2004)

•Reduced misbehavior/aggression among children and adolescents (Schonert-Reichl and Lawlor 2010; Black, Milam, and Sussman 2009; Barnes, Treiber, and Johnson 2003)
