Facets of Mindfulness and Health Among a Predominantly Low-Income Community Sample

Objectives Low-income populations are at a disproportionately high risk for various physical and emotional disorders. One factor that has received little attention in its link to health among low-income groups is dispositional mindfulness. Dispositional mindfulness has been associated with better health in college undergraduate and predominantly higher-income Caucasian samples. Understanding the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and health among low-income populations may be helpful for developing effective programs. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to assess the relationship between the facets of mindfulness and various health domains in a low-income community sample.
