About this study

The overall goal of this study is to investigate associations between sleep/circadian disturbances and psychiatric health among adolescents recruited from primary and specialty health clinics.

Read the detailed description

This project will involve recruitment of 100 adolescents from primary and specialty health clinics. Participants will participate in 3 phases: screening/intake visit, sleep study, and follow-up visit.

The 1-hour screening/intake visit will be conducted at the Duke ADHD clinic at 2608 Erwin Road, Pavilion East, Suite 300, Durham, NC 27705. During the screening/intake visit, participants and their parents will complete questionnaires regarding the adolescent's psychiatric health. Participants' vitals (i.e., height, weight, resting heart rate, blood pressure) will also be assessed and recorded.

Eligible participants will enter the 7-day sleep study, during which they will be asked to wear an actigraph watch 24 hours/day, apply a EEG sleep recorder each night, and complete a daily sleep diary.

Following the final night of the sleep study, participants and parents will be asked to return for a follow-up visit and will complete questionnaires about the participants' sleep over the past week.

AdolescentsAdolescents, male or female, ages 11 - 17. Participants will complete 7 days/nights of actigraphy and sleep-based EEG and questionnaires.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Psychiatric Health - Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms of Childhood

    "Internalizing symptoms" and "Externalizing symptoms" subscales of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)

    Measured: 1 Day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Acceptability of Devices - Tolerability Scale

    Tolerability will be assessed using the At Home PSG Tolerability Scale, developed by Dr. Lunsford-Avery (PI) and colleagues. This scale measures comfort of devices while asleep and awake, sleep disturbances resulting from device use, and satisfaction with the devices.

    Measured: 1 day
