Project SHINE (Sleep Health INitiative for Equity): Culturally informing a sleep extension intervention for African American adults
The purpose of the study is to better understand the experiences of healthy lifestyle behaviors (i.e., sleep and physical activity), and receive feedback on a sleep intervention that aims to improve sleep among African American adults who do not get enough sleep. Sleep is vital to engaging in a healthy lifestyle, living longer, and feeling energized throughout the day. This research will compare a sleep intervention program (“Sleep Intervention Group”) to a healthy homes education program (“Control Group”) to see if there are changes in sleep and physical activity among those in the Sleep Intervention Group. We expect that participants will be in this research study for about 6 weeks.
