Comparing Two School-Based Sleep Health Interventions To Promote Sleep Quality in Youth

Comparing Two School-Based Sleep Health Interventions To Promote Sleep Quality in Youth

The goal of this clinical trial is to conduct a comparative effectiveness trial that will evaluate two school-based interventions to improve adolescent sleep health: the standard Sleep Health Education (SHE) and a stepped care version of the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian intervention (TS-C-STEP). The main questions it aims to answer [is/are]:

• TS-C-STEP will yield superior outcomes relative to SHE at post-treatment and up to 12 months following treatment.
• In this large and diverse sample, vulnerable subgroups (e.g. socioeconomically disadvantaged, racial, ethnic, rural, and youth with comorbid learning and/or mental health conditions) will experience greater benefits from TS-C-STEP compared to SHE on primary and secondary outcomes.

Researchers will compare sleep quality to determine which intervention is most effective.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 12-18 years old
• Sleep health problem (i.e. insomnia, evening circadian preference, short sleep duration, poor sleep quality)
• Able to participate in a general education classroom.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous participation in the study;
• Symptoms or illness that precludes informed consent or engagement in study procedures ; youth not fluent in English, parent not fluent in English, or Spanish.
