Sleep Study for Teenagers
(IRB#: IRB_00170667)
Sleep problems can cause people many issues such as feeling angry, unsure, distrusting of other people, and alone. This study wants to learn how teenagers sleep and sleep patterns impact these issues and if an intervention can be helpful. Participants 13 to 18 years old (teenagers) and their parents, with a study member, will participate in online interviews using technology like a cell phone or computer. Teenagers will be given a headband to wear at night while they sleep to track sleep patterns. Teenagers and parents will complete surveys. Teenage participants will also respond to short surveys on their cell phones. Being in the study requires about 2 months of participation.
