To assess the feasibility of delivering the Strathclyde Sleep Intervention to adolescents with co-morbid insomnia and mental health attending a mental health services The following feasibility benchmarks will be assessed: recruitment and retention, participant attendance, staff training, intervention fidelity and participant adherence. 2. To examine participant acceptability. The researchers will conduct qualitative interviews with the participants and delivery staff to examine the acceptability of the programme. 3. To investigate the preliminary effectiveness by assessing the following: sleep parameters, insomnia symptoms, Circadian phase preference (baseline only) and mental health symptoms. Data will be collected at baseline, post-intervention and 3 month follow-up.


Clinical Trial Description

Sleep problems have a significant detrimental impact on physical health, development, and functioning and are commonly experienced co-morbidly with other mental health problems. Therefore, many adolescents who are attending mental health services, also experience significant sleep disturbances. However, sleep problems are rarely addressed within mental health services due to lack of awareness of the importance of sleep and/or training in effective treatments. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended approach for treating insomnia in both adult and adolescent populations. Despite this, there has been limited research investigating the delivery of CBT-I interventions to adolescents with co-morbid mental health problems, and to our knowledge, no such studies exist within the Scottish context. The Strathclyde Sleep Intervention incorporates CBT-I components to improve adolescent sleep. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the intervention for adolescents attending mental health services. Staff within the service will receive training to deliver the Strathclyde Sleep Intervention to adolescents with co-morbid mental health and sleep problems. The following feasibility benchmarks will be assessed: recruitment and retention, participant attendance, facilitator training, intervention fidelity and participant adherence. Acceptability will be measured via qualitative interviews with participants and staff. Baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments will be conducted to assess preliminary effectiveness of the intervention for improving sleep and mental health. This research is necessary to inform future trials of the Strathclyde Sleep Intervention and to support its wider implementation within services. ;
