Abstract
We are proposing implementing MIA through Diffusion Theory and MATCH Program Planning. Using a social ecological perspective, personal health behavior is influenced by an individual's thoughts and their relationships with others, their affiliation with organizations, their location within communities, and their connection with their culture (Simons-Morton, McLeroy, & Wendel, 2012). Multiple Approaches to Community Health (MATCH) is a socio-ecologic planning model that will guide the development and implementation of Mindfulness into Action (MIA) practices to address the personal health behaviors and environmental conditions of high school students living in low-income neighborhoods in New York City. Diffusion Theory (Rogers, 2003) will be employed in the development, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of the program. As such, we are using an organizational learning technique by implementing MIA (chapter 31) (Vergara, 2016c) with high school students. As participants identify their unknown behaviors, we are planning to collect data regarding the changes in discipline incidents, bullying, and attendance between before and after the implementation of the Mindfulness into Action Initiative in the schools.
