Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessing Sleep in Blackfeet Families With K-3rd Grade Children (NCT NCT05314712)

NCT ID: NCT05314712

Last Updated: 2025-03-30

Results Overview

Sleep Trouble assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Five questions on sleep trouble were asked on a likert scale that was treated as continuous and included four options: 0 = "Not during the past month"; 1 = "Less than a once a week"; 2 = "Once or twice a week"; 3 = "Three or more times a week." Each step in the scale represents an equal change on a continuous scale, e.g., going from a response of 1 to 2 is considered the same as going from 3 to 4. 0 is considered better and 3 is considered worse. The mean of the five responses were used as a total score for sleep trouble for each participant.

Participant Flow

Recruitment was done through social media in the Blackfeet community. A total of 30 families (1 parent and 1 child) were recruited and consented. This was done summer and fall 2023.

As mentioned above, a total of 30 families were consented in the study. However, six families did not complete baseline data collection and a total of 14 families dropped out of the study. We were able to retain 23 families (46 parent/child dyads) for the study with post-intervention data on all participants.
