A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

SPARK-Healthy Sleep is a randomized, wait-list controlled pilot testing a single-session digital intervention delivered via a smartphone/Qualtrics platform for college students at risk for psychosis who have sleep problems. Participants (target n=115) are randomized 1:1 to immediate access or a 3-week delayed access, with stratification by race, gender, and age; the trial is unblinded. The 30-minute intervention combines brief stigma-reduction education about mental health as a continuum with evidence-based CBT-I techniques targeted to improve sleep. Primary aims are feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary signals of effectiveness on sleep quality and stigma-related attitudes in this student sample.
