Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Sleep
Interventions
Behavioral: GO! To Sleep
Behavioral: Sleep information
Procedure: Blood Draw
Other: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Other: Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
Other: SF-12 quality of life survey
Registration Number
NCT02613923
Lead Sponsor
Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Brief Summary

Participants are asked to participate in a research study of the effect of a sleep intervention on improving sleep habits and reducing their risk of breast cancer.

Participants are asked to participate in this research study because they have been identified as being at higher than average risk of developing breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare women who get a sleep intervention to women who do not get a sleep intervention. This study team will compare these two groups of women to see if the sleep intervention improves their sleep and if it lowers markers of inflammation that have been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Objective 1: To test the effectiveness of the GO! To Sleep program at improving the sleep duration and sleep quality in women at high risk of breast cancer.

Objective 2: To test the effectiveness of improvements in sleep quality and/or duration due to the GO! To Sleep program on biomarkers of inflammation in women at high risk of breast cancer.

Objective 3: To evaluate the effectiveness of improvements in health-related quality of life after the GO! To Sleep in women at high risk of breast cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference in change in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score between groupsChange from baseline to post intervention, around 8 weeks after baseline

Sleep quality will be measured with the insomnia severity index (ISI). A validated instrument for sleep quality

Difference in change in sleep duration between groupsChange from baseline to post intervention, around 8 weeks after baseline

Sleep duration will be obtained by self-report from responses to the PSQI

Difference in Change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score between groupsChange from baseline to post intervention, around 8 weeks after baseline

Sleep quality will be measured by the PSQI which is a continuous measure from 0 (best) to 21 (worst)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference in change of SF-12 score from baseline to post-intervention between groupsChange from baseline to 6 months post intervention

The effectiveness of changing health-related quality of life after the GO! To Sleep program will he measured with the self-reported survey SF-12

Correlation of joint changes in biomarker levels with PSQI and ISIChange from baseline to 6 months post intervention

This study will correlate the joint changes in biomarker level with the changes in sleep quality and sleep duration

Difference in change in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score between groupsChange from baseline to 6 months post intervention

Sleep quality will be measured with the insomnia severity index (ISI). A validated instrument for sleep quality

Difference in Change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score between groupsChange from baseline to 6 months post intervention

Long term sleep quality will be measured by the PSQI which is a continuous measure from 0 (best) to 21 (worst)

Difference in change in sleep duration between groupsChange from baseline to 6 months post intervention

Sleep duration will be obtained by self-report from responses to the PSQI
