Study Details

Sweet Dreams/Dulces Suenos

(IRB#: IRB_00179415)

The purpose of this study is to learn about how women of color find time to sleep in their busy lives. As well as balancing sleep with other healthy behaviors and life demands. The study also wants to learn the impact of sleep on risk factors for cardiovascular (heart) disease and diabetes. The results from the study will help develop a new intervention to improve sleep for women. Being in the study requires attending about a 60-minute in-person visit. During the visit participants will complete an online questionnaire, time use survey, and cardiometabolic assessment. After the in-person visit, participants will wear a Fitbit for 7 nights. During this time, participants will receive text messages each day to answer questions about the previous night and experiences that day. Participants will then complete a second interview. Participants will be paid for being in the study.
