Evaluation of an interactive school-based sleep education program: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

摘要: Abstract Objectives Shortened sleep has negative consequences on adolescents’ well-being. The present study evaluated an interactive school-based education program (SEP) aimed at increasing adolescent duration. Design and intervention A cluster-randomized controlled trial with 12 clusters (classes) was used. group received a SEP and the active control healthy living (HLP). Both groups underwent 4-week class-based program. SEP students learned about importance of sleep, barriers to getting enough how improve their time management increase opportunity. HLP various health-related topics not including sleep. Participants total 210 (mean age = 14.04 ± 0.32 years) were randomly assigned (n = 102) or 108) group, 6 classes per group. Measurements Sleep (actigraphically measured), knowledge, usage assessed using linear mixed models three points: baseline, immediately after intervention, 1-month follow-up. Results knowledge improved follow-up in relative (p = .017). Although receptive self-reported intention create more for no changes found following SEP. Some benefit may have been masked by exam preparations evaluation. Conclusions alone not be sufficient change behavior. combination education, starting school later, parental involvement needed encourage enable
