SBP=systolic blood pressure. DBP=diastolic blood pressure. HR= heart rate. HE=health education. BAM=breathing awareness meditation. LS=lifeskills training. FRI=Family Relations Index. Low indicates below the median score. High indicates at or above the median score. Superscripts indicate significant within/between group differences p<.05.
