We are pleased to share the recent achievement of a 2018 graduate of the HMS Research Fellowship in Integrative Medicine, Christina Luberto, PhD. Dr. Luberto was awarded a K-23 from the NCCIH for her project: “Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Delivered via Group Videoconferencing for Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients with Elevated Depression Symptoms”.
This project is a mixed-methods study to adapt MBCT for online videoconferencing delivery for patients with elevated depressions symptoms after a heart attack, and conduct a pilot RCT to assess feasibility and acceptability of the program. The award will promote Dr. Luberto’s training in electronic health approaches for mind-body intervention delivery, qualitative research, and stress physiology and inflammatory biomarker research.
