Social Determinants of Sleep and Obesity

Early Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Insufficient Sleep; Obesity; Physical Inactivity; Sedentary Behavior

• Registration Number: NCT05698693
• Lead Sponsor: University of Minnesota

Brief Summary

African American adults sleep less and obtain worse quality sleep compared to the national average, and emerging evidence links inadequate sleep with greater morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and cancer. To address this public health concern, the proposed research seeks to use a multi-method approach to adapt a sleep intervention for African American adults with overweight/obesity not meeting national sleep duration or physical activity recommendations. The overall goal of the project is to reduce cancer and obesity-related health disparities among African Americans.
