Manoj Sharma (Environmental & Occupational Health) published an article entitled, "A Protocol for Assessing the Readiness for Practicing Meditation (Manan Dhyana) as a Tool for Reduction of Stress among High-risk Occupations" in the journal Giornale Italiano di Psicolgia e Medicina del Lavoro (Italian Journal of Psychology and Occupational Health). The article suggests the application and testing of the fourth-generation multi-theory model (MTM) of health behavior change to develop introspective meditations, a way to reflect on one's own thinking for self-improvement and reduce stress.
