DOZE Sleep App for Youth With Sleep Disturbance

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Insomnia is a highly prevalent problem among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with mental health issues. Although evidence-based treatments to quickly address insomnia exist, access to such treatments is limited and there is very little research in AYAs. Furthermore, some of the sleep problems of AYA are unique (e.g., voluntary sleep restriction, circadian phase delay, very poor sleep hygiene), so pediatric and adult programs are not suitable for this age group. This study will test an innovative program that consists of an integrated smart phone application (app) and web self-management system ("DOZE") to help adolescents and young adults sleep better. The first phase of this project, now completed, involved interviewing primary stakeholders of the app (AYAs) to evaluate a low-fidelity prototype of the app and to gather information regarding their opinion about what tools participants would use to improve their health and/or sleep. Using the data from phase I, the investigators have created an app that is acceptable, useful and easy to use while meeting the needs of AYAs experiencing sleep problems. In this study, the investigators will conduct an open trial of the app with 145 AYAs to evaluate usability, acceptability, and sleep and corollary outcomes using a mixed methods design.

The investigators hypothesize:

1. That participants (AYAs) will find the app satisfactory and credible;

2. DOZE will effect sleep-related behaviour change;

3. DOZE will contribute to improvements in energy, mood, and perceived quality of life.

Exploratory analyses will also be conducted to evaluate which aspects of DOZE participants (AYAs) found most helpful.
