on meditation in diverse populations of adults has accumulated sufficiently to provide convincing high - level evidence for reproducible

children and youth, however, is less developed and, although suggestive of
benefit, is just beginning to emerge.73 — 76 To provide the highest level of available evidence regarding the specific effect (s) attributable to meditation instruction for

benefits by tracking how many mothers start and continue breastfeeding for at least three months.
