The Dream Team: Testing Implementation of a Sleep Intervention for Perinatal Women Delivered by Direct Care Workers
Sponsor: Rhode Island Hospital
Summary
Insufficient and disrupted sleep are rarely addressed in expectant and new mothers, despite evidence that disturbed sleep is a modifiable risk factor for negative health outcomes for mothers and their children. In this study the investigators will adapt, refine, and pilot test the implementation of a behavioral sleep intervention consisting of short videos designed to accompany a free behavioral sleep app. In Phase 1, the investigators will develop and refine the intervention with input from direct care workers who serve at-risk perinatal women. In Phase 2, direct care workers will deploy the training to expectant mothers with sleep concerns and the investigators will assess the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of this scalable, efficient intervention to improve sleep.

Education about behavioral strategies to improve sleep
In collaboration with direct care workers, the investigators are developing an intervention to help home visitors support clients who experience sleep difficulties in the perinatal period. The intervention consists of a series of educational videos about promoting healthy sleep and addressing sleep difficulties during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
