Cascading A Healthy Sleep Intervention In Vocational Education

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Sleep Quality; Implementation

• Registration Number: NCT07030556
• Lead Sponsor: University Ghent

Brief Summary

Sleep is crucial for the mental, cognitive and physical health of adolescents. However, teenagers in 2024 sleep less and less and their sleep is of poorer quality. It is striking that adolescents who follow vocational education sleep even worse compared to peers who follow a technical or general education. It is therefore important to focus on this risk group of adolescents to reduce health differences. However, there are no previous intervention studies that focused on them.

In previous research, a healthy sleep intervention was already developed, implemented and evaluated in a participatory manner. Within this research, the investigators want to focus on evaluating the process of implementation of this intervention among first and second year secondary school students (12 to 14 year olds) and teachers from vocational education. Based on the results of this process evaluation, the investigators want to deliver this intervention as a ready-made package to Flemish secondary schools.
