Do college students who have meditated monthly less depression and higher happiness

My research question is “Do college students who have meditated monthly as high school students report less depression and higher happiness when compared to those that did not?”

The prompt is “Propose a research project to assess a specific issue related to health and wellness. Identify a finite researchable problem of your own choosing and propose an empirical study to examine this issue. In the proposal, spend approximately 2-3 pages reviewing literature on your topic and identifying a research focus (e.g. by pointing to some gap in the existing literature or some new conceptual or methodological direction). The literature review should include at least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles or book chapters (may include articles or chapters from the syllabus). In the next 2-3 pages, describe an empirical study that could be done to address your research question.”
