Summary

The goal is to adapt and refine an innovative, developmentally-appropriate universal health promotion intervention to reduce insufficient sleep among adolescents aged 14 to 16, while engaging teens in the adaptation process to maximize the relevance, appeal, and effectiveness of the program for diverse school settings.

Detailed description

The goal is to adapt and refine an innovative, developmentally-appropriate universal health promotion intervention to reduce insufficient sleep among adolescents aged 14 to 16, while engaging teens in the adaptation process to maximize the relevance, appeal, and effectiveness of the program for diverse school settings. The investigators aim to conduct a pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) among adolescents (n = 300) who will be randomized to Sleep Fitness (SF) or Sleep Education (SE) to obtain effect size estimates in preparation for a larger scale intervention study. This pilot trial is designed to obtain preliminary data for the following hypotheses: SF, compared to SE, will produce greater pre-post improvement in sleep after treatment and at 6 month follow-up (with the possibility of a 12 month follow-up for a subset of participants, depending on resources). SF, compared to SE, will produce greater pre-post reductions in substance use after treatment and at 6 month follow-up (with the possibility of a 12 month follow-up for a subset of participants, depending on resources). SF, compared to SE, will produce greater pre-post improvement on selected mental health outcomes (anxiety, depression) after treatment and at 6 month follow-up (with the possibility of a 12 month follow-up for a subset of participants, depending on resources).
