Project description

Adolescent sleep deprivation is becoming increasingly recognized internationally as a significant health concern. This project will be the first to use a unique approach of actively involving adolescents as real life experts in the development of interventions to improve sleep behaviour (using a participatory health research methodology) and to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions (using a randomised controlled trial).
