Abstract
Despite widespread research and academic pressures, mindfulness researchers have an ethical responsibility to take a careful and considered approach to their work, particularly when investigating the mental health of children. This Letter to the Editor addresses an earlier debate article published in the journal by further elaborating on the issues raised by a recent large trial of a mindfulness-informed school-based intervention, and the ethical implications for mindfulness research.
