Increasing Childhood Sleep Duration in the Primary Care Setting
- Conditions
- Sleep
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Sleep Extension
- Registration Number
- NCT03870282
- Lead Sponsor
- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
- Brief Summary
Investigators seek to determine if a mobile health based intervention can be developed to target increases in childhood sleep duration.
- Detailed Description
Investigators seek to determine if an online based intervention can be developed to target increases in childhood sleep. The primary objectives of this study are to determine if different messaging strategies lead to the longer sleep duration.Children aged 9-12 who sleep about 6-8.5 hours per night will wear a Fitbit for 11 weeks in order to measure sleep patterns. Participants will have a sleep goal to meet each night. Participants will be randomized to one of thirty-two study conditions and receive text and/or email messaging. Some study arms receive additional messaging with different content and frequency of delivery. The study involves one visit to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Actigraphy Estimated Weeknight Sleep Duration 10 weeks The investigators' primary outcome is actigraphy estimated weeknight sleep duration operationalized as the average hours per weeknight per week.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sleep Disturbance Score 15 minutes Measured using the validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 9-item bank for pediatric sleep, ages 8-17y. The sleep disturbance score is calculated by summing responses to items related to sleep onset, sleep continuity and sleep quality. Higher scores for sleep disturbance indicate poorer sleep quality. We will operationalize our secondary outcomes as T-scores, using the standard PROMIS approach.
Sleep Related Impairment Score 15 minutes Measured using the validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 9-item bank for pediatric sleep, ages 8-17y. The sleep-related impairment score is calculated by summing responses to items related to daytime sleepiness, cognition, affect \& behavior and daytime activities. Higher scores for sleep impairment indicate poorer sleep quality. We will operationalize our secondary outcomes as T-scores, using the standard PROMIS approach.
