Summary

This project will systematically plan and evaluate the implementation of the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention for youth (TranS-CY). As an early stage study, investigators will focus on recruitment strategies to reach the target population and collection of preliminary data on primary and secondary effects of the TranS-CY. Weekly remote (video web conferencing) parent training sessions will allow investigators to explore adoption through parent adherence and examine whether the essential elements of the TranS-CY intervention (e.g., motivational interviewing, goal setting, problem solving, sleep routine scheduling, monitoring) can be consistently taught by clinicians and implemented by parents into the home setting.

BEHAVIORAL

Transdiagnostic Behavioral Sleep Intervention

The Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention for Youth (TranS-CY) uses a comprehensive sleep health framework along with robust evidence for promoting healthy sleep patterns in youth. The TranS-CY incorporates best practices from numerous efficacious behavioral sleep interventions including 1) cognitive behavioral therapy, 2) interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, and 3) behavioral treatment of circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. The "traditional" TranS-CY is clinician-led and provides a robust sleep treatment framework for youth with a wide range of disorders and sleep health concerns. For this study, investigators are using the basic framework of the TranS-CY, but clinicians will train parents to incorporate the intervention into the home for their young child with DMD. Trained clinicians will work with parents to ensure the basic components of the TranS-CY are incorporated into the home-based intervention.
