Measure
SHUTi (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet)
Participants were assigned to the SHUTi (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet) online intervention. They spent 1-2 hours each week for 6-9 weeks completing daily sleep diaries as well as interactive core content covering topics of sleep behaviors, sleep thoughts, sleep education, and relapse prevention. As users progressed through the intervention, they received automated, tailored instructions for how to improve their sleep.

Population: SHUTi Non-Users did not complete this measure at post-assessment. There were 6 SHUTi Incomplete Users who did not complete the post-assessment. All SHUTi Complete Users completed post-assessment.

Sleep Locus of Control Scale with two subscales: 1. a 5-item subscale for internal locus of control; summed scores per scale range from 5 to 30 (higher scores indicate higher belief in the locus of control measured; higher internal sleep locus of control is a better outcome) 2. a 3-item subscale for external locus of control; summed scores per scale range from 3 to 18 (higher scores indicate higher belief in the locus of control measured; lower external sleep locus of control is a better outcome)

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 9-week Post-assessment

Non-users' post-assessment will include an open-ended survey regarding barriers to SHUTi adoption, the extent to which barriers were related to caregiving, and what modifications may have increased their motivation to try SHUTi. Users' (i.e., incomplete and complete) post-assessment will include an open-ended survey assessing SHUTi usage barriers and motivations, the extent to which these were related to caregiving, and how tailoring may improve usage by increasing salience to caregivers.
