Brief summary

A follow-up of a cohort of participants recruited for a prior study will be conducted. In the prior study, 10-18 years olds were provided one of two treatments to improve the sleep of adolescent night-owls. The follow-up will be approximately 6-years following participation in the prior study. The goal is to establish long-term outcomes in sleep and circadian functioning, in the five health-relevant domains and in engagement in sleep health behavior.

Detailed description

A follow-up of a cohort of participants recruited for a prior study will be conducted. In the prior study, 10-18 years olds were provided one of two treatments to improve the sleep of adolescent night-owls. This follow-up will be conducted approximately 6-years following participation in the prior study. The participants will be 18-28 years of age. Specific Aim 1: At the 6-year follow-up, participants recruited for the prior study will be assessed for sleep and circadian functioning and functioning in five health- relevant domains. Specific Aim 2: The sample will also be assessed for their engagement in sleep health behavior. This research will advance knowledge on: (a) longer-term outcomes and (b) the role of eveningness as a mechanism contributing to poorer outcomes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index6 years19-item. First four items are integer responses. The rest of the items are on a 0-3 scale. Creates 7 composite scores, with the sum of the composite scores ranging from 0 to 21. (Higher score means increased severity of difficulty in all sleep area components).

Composite Sleep Health Score6 yearsComposite Sleep Health Score which is defined as the sum of scores on 6 sleep health dimensions: Regularity (Midpoint fluctuation), Satisfaction (Sleep quality question on PROMIS-SD), Alertness (Daytime sleepiness question on PROMIS-SRI), Timing (Mean midpoint), Efficiency (Sleep efficiency) and Duration (Total Sleep Time). The Sleep Health Composite was constructed such that higher score indicates better sleep health.
