A Sleep Hygiene Intervention to Improve Sleep Health in Urban, Latino Middle School Children
NCT06942455 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The main goal of this study is to evaluate the "SIESTA" intervention, a culturally and contextually tailored sleep hygiene intervention that has the potential to exert greater improvements in sleep hygiene and sleep outcomes for group that may be more vulnerable to poor sleep health. The main question is: do SIESTA participants have improved sleep outcomes, sleep hygiene behaviors and less sleep-related impairment compared to Control Group participants? Participants randomized to the SIESTA intervention will: 1. Attend 4 remotely administered group sleep hygiene education sessions 2. Complete along with a parent/guardian, two individualized sessions administered by a SIESTA intervention facilitator 3. Complete study survey at baseline, end of treatment, and at 4, 8 and 12 months post-intervention. 4. Wear electronic sleep watches (actigraphy) throughout the protocol to objectively measure sleep duration and quality. Participants randomized to the Child Health Control condition will: 1. Attend 4 remotely administered group sessions covering general health topics 2. Complete along with a parent/guardian, two individualized sessions administered by a SIESTA intervention facilitator 3. Complete study survey at baseline, end of treatment, and at 4, 8 and 12 months post-intervention. 4. Wear electronic sleep watches (actigraphy) throughout the protocol to objectively measure sleep duration and quality. A secondary goal of the study is to conduct a process evaluation to prepare for future larger scale use of the intervention in other urban school settings. This will entail assessing Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) of the program through several methods, such as by conducting in-depth interviews with research participants and their parents/guardians, as well as school staff and by looking at rates of participation in the program.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06942455
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06942455 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 300 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rhode Island Hospital, which has 110 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Sleep appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which SIESTA is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06942455 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Rhode Island, Puerto Rico. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
