Declarations
:
: As a secondary analysis of previously published work, the current systematic review was not considered to require an institutional ethics review. Given that the referenced articles, Smart et al. (CitationRef removed) and Smart and Segalowitz (CitationRef removed), were performed by the first author, we may attest that all procedures performed for these studies were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institution and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. The remaining referenced articles each reported that institutional ethical approval was obtained for their study.
: The first author has a book that has recently come out that is based on two articles referenced in this review (Smart & Segalowitz, CitationRef removed; Smart et al., CitationRef removed). The book involves the publication of the mindfulness treatment manual used in these studies. Because of this potential conflict, all study quality ratings for the systematic review were done blind to the first author and completed by the other three authors.
