Participant Retention
With the goal of analyzing data from the subsequent efficacy trial with an intention-to-treat analysis, participant retention will be measured by the percent of enrolled participants that complete the 2-month follow-up visit at each site and overall.
Acceptability
Acceptability will be assessed using the Acceptability Questionnaire. The Acceptability Questionnaire is based on a published theoretical framework for assessment of acceptability of healthcare interventions and assesses acceptability of being randomized to ReACT vs. CATCH-IT, acceptability of the treatment received and presence of treatment side effects associated with ReACT or CATCH-IT, including all side effects associated with mindfulness. For each reported side effect, the duration, tolerability, perceived unpleasantness, impact on functioning and acceptability based on treatment benefit will be obtained.
Functional seizure frequency
FS Diaries will be completed in REDCap by parents and children to prospectively track FS frequency from 7 days prior to treatment through 2 months post treatment, including date, time, location, duration and nature of symptoms. Those in ReACT will report if they used their treatment plan for each FS and track each FS they prevented with the plan. They will retrospectively report FS for the 3 weeks prior to initial screening. Discrepancies in parent and adolescent report will be discussed and rectified to improve accuracy
Sense of Agency scale

Treatment Preference Questionnaire
Treatment Preference Questionnaire will be completed before randomization to assess to which treatment the participant and parent prefer to be randomized. This is a single question which asks the participant "Which treatment would they prefer to be randomized to?".
