Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sustainable Habits for Encouraging Even Teen Sleep (NCT NCT05378373)

NCT ID: NCT05378373

Last Updated: 2026-07-10

Results Overview

A measure of sleep regularity collected continuously over 7 days via actigraphy. The Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) ranges from 0-100 and is calculated as the proportion of pairs of time points 24 hours apart that have matching sleep/wake status. Higher scores indicate better sleep regularity.

Participant Flow

Recruitment occurred during well-check visits in pediatric primary care clinics, via digital fliers through schools and social media, and by contacting parents or guardians of potentially eligible adolescents using contact information in the electronic health record (EHR).

There are two phases to the study, and adolescent participants could participate in one or both phases. The first phase was for participation in focus groups in which adolescents, parents, and pediatricians provided feedback to refine both digital interventions for Phase 2 of this study. Phase 2 was the randomized controlled trial in which only adolescents were enrolled, and they completed one of two digital interventions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months

Population: Phase 2 randomized trial participants who completed the study.

Self-reported sleep will be assessed via the PROMIS pediatric sleep disturbances survey, an 8 item survey (each item is on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from Never to Always). The total score ranges from 0 to 32, where lower scores indicate better outcomes.

Population: Phase 2 randomized trial participants who completed the study and had a sufficient number of items completed in order to score.

As measured by the Youth Self Report, a 112-item questionnaire, with a 3-point Likert scale ranging from Not True to Very True. The internalizing subscale is based on 31 items. The standardized T-score has a population mean of 50 with a standard deviation of 10. Lower scores indicate better outcomes.
