#FINAL REPORT
"There is a significant change in stress levels between students
who participated in the mindfulness training program before and after.
Prior to the intervention, stress levels were Mdn = 47.24 (M = 51.54, SD = 17.22),
and after the intervention, stress levels decreased to Mdn = 40.85 (M = 41.49, SD = 18.89).
A Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated that this reduction was statistically significant,
V = 1027, p < .001, with a large effect size (rank biserial correlation = 0.844).
