In this article, they observe and work with 4th grade students from an urban school. They target this particular elementary school because it rates high in poverty and diversity. To carry out this investigation, they had one class go through a 10-week Mindfulness intervention. They surveyed the teachers before and after the intervention to get their perspective. There was also a controlled class that was not tested, so they could have a

The teachers saw dramatic changes among their students throughout the 10-week period. The teacher whose class had the intervention felt like the, “students could settle down better, exhibited more impulse control, paid attention more in class, showed more self-awareness, and could relate to one another better than before the intervention.” The students had many positive things to say about the program, “100% of students said that they "enjoyed Mindfulness classes", "would use Mindfulness again in the future", and agree that they "think more children should learn Mindfulness." Three-quarters of the students had taught someone else they know about Mindfulness.” People have strayed away from using the Mindfulness program which led Harpin and his colleagues to test it and see if they could get different results.

The first outcome “will be the proportion of psychosocial problems identified by the CHPs in both the intervention and control regions.” This outcome will be put a lot of focus towards the social-emotional development of the child. The second primary outcome will be the CHPs job to uncover psychosocial issues when the child is in controlled and intervention conditions. The last primary outcome “will be the concordance between the risk and protective factors as assessed by CHPs using the family-centered approach domains.” These outcomes are based off the domains that the family-centered approach takes. The CHPs have a major role in identifying issues, but they also need assessments from the parents because they know their children
