Summary

This study tests a 6-week mindfulness-based program designed to improve sleep and reduce stress in Black women with insomnia. Researchers will enroll 340 women and track changes in sleep quality, stress levels, and how acceptable and feasible the program is. The goal is to see if this approach can help reduce the higher rates of heart disease linked to poor sleep in this group.

Active substance

mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia (MBTI)

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could offer an effective, non-drug way to improve sleep and reduce stress in Black women, potentially lowering their risk for heart disease.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Results depend on participants sticking with the program, and benefits may vary. It is still early, and larger studies would be needed to confirm any long-term health impact.
