Trial Outcomes & Findings for Adapting Sleep and Yoga Interventions for Maximal Effectiveness in Low Income Populations (NCT NCT03392194)

NCT ID: NCT03392194

Last Updated: 2019-09-11

Results Overview

Change in sleep duration from baseline to follow-up measure by actigraphs. We will conduct a repeated measures ANCOVA, modeling time, intervention group and a time\*intervention interaction. We will explore change in stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene score as potential explanatory variables.

Participant Flow

From January-March 2018, participants were recruited from two affordable housing communities. Convenience and snowball sampling methods were employed. Study staff and community partners provided information to interested participants at community events and distributed flyers and postcards throughout the communities.

Sleep hygiene (SH) group sessions served as a run-in period for randomization. Participants were consented to participate in the research study (n=38) and then attended two SH group session. At the end of the second SH session, participants were randomized to the SH-arm or the sleep hygiene and yoga (SH+Y) arm (n=33).

Measure
Sleep Hygiene & Yoga (SH+Y)
Participants will receive the sleep hygiene intervention, which includes 2 sleep hygiene sessions and 10 weeks of maintenance assessment. After completing the SH sessions, they will receive 10 weeks of the yoga intervention (8 in-person yoga sessions and 2 weeks of yoga home practice maintenance assessment). Sleep hygiene intervention: The community-adapted SH intervention includes 2 group sessions. (1) teach the importance of sleep and the core components of SH; distribute and explain the daily sleep log (2) facilitate an open discussion where participants share challenges and experiences implementing a SH goal. Yoga intervention: Following the SH intervention, participants randomized to the SH+Y arm will participate in 8 weekly beginner level yoga classes. Classes will increase participants' skill and comfort with yoga postures and relaxing breathing exercises so that participants can adopt an evening yoga practice (10 weeks).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: The missing count is based on 21 participants having adequate quality actigraphy data at both baseline and endpoint

Change in sleep duration from baseline to follow-up measure by actigraphs. We will conduct a repeated measures ANCOVA, modeling time, intervention group and a time\*intervention interaction. We will explore change in stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene score as potential explanatory variables.
