Abstract
Objective: To evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and initial effects of Sleeping Healthy, Living Healthy (SHLH), an integrated behavioral sleep-mind-body integrative health (MBIH) intervention to improve sleep health, among urban adolescents.
Methods: Sixty-one adolescents (66% female; 84% Hispanic/Latino; 25% Black or African American) who slept less than 8 h/weeknight from two NYC high school campuses were randomized to SHLH (n = 30) or an attention-control group (n = 31). Outcomes assessed at baseline, immediately postintervention, and 10 weeks postintervention included sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)); PROMIS sleep-related impairment; stress and anxiety; and perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale). Actigraphy data were collected at each assessment. Generalized linear mixed-effects models with a random subject effect tested effects on outcomes following the intent-to-treat principle.
Results: The median number of sessions adolescents randomized to SHLH attended was 5.0 of seven sessions (interquartile range = 2.50-6.00). They reported high satisfaction with the intervention and used the MBIH techniques taught in the intervention at least once in the past week. Relative to controls, adolescents in SHLH had lower odds of reporting poor sleep quality (OR = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.02, 0.77, p = .026) and reported significant improvements in healthy sleep practices (β = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.04, 0.52, p = .019), PSQI global sleep quality scores (β = -1.52, 95% CI = -3.42, -0.25, p = .27), and PROMIS sleep-related impairment (β = -5.73, 95% CI = -9.42, -2.04, p = .002). They also reported significantly less perceived stress (β = -1.82, 95% CI: -2.88, -0.77). No differences in actigraphy-estimated sleep were observed.
Conclusions: Preliminary evaluations of SHLH suggest that it is feasible to implement, acceptable to adolescents, and had favorable short-term improvements in sleep. Larger trials are warranted.
