Summary

This study tests two school-based sleep programs in 1,320 teens aged 12-18 with sleep problems. One program is a standard sleep health education, the other is a more intensive cognitive behavioral sleep intervention. Researchers will compare which program improves sleep quality more, and whether certain groups benefit more.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: behavioral sleep intervention (TS-C-STEP) and sleep health education
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point to an effective school-based program to improve sleep quality in teenagers, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
What could go wrong: This is a large but early-stage comparative trial. The interventions are behavioral, so results may vary widely, and long-term benefits are uncertain.
