Investigators from the Pediatric Department of The Georgia Institute for Prevention of Human Diseases and Accidents and The Medical College of Georgia looked at the impact of stress reduction, by way of Transcendental Meditation (TM), on blood pressure (BP) in African-American adolescents averaging 16 years old (aged 16.2 +/- 1.3 years) with high normal systolic BP.
