Brief Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial that assesses the effects of (1) the Family-Supportive Supervisor Behavior (FSSB) and Sleep Leadership training and (2) sleep/cognitive effectiveness feedback intervention on health and well-being among full-time employees in the Oregon National Guard, their supervisors, and their families. The interventions involving both health protection and health promotion are expected to contribute to improvements in employees' and their supervisors' sleep, risk behaviors, mental and physical health, and injury, as well as employees' and their spouse/partners' family experiences, health and well-being, and workplace outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (16)

• Self-Reported Sleep Duration

  Total number of hours calculated from reported bed time and wake time. Minimum 0 hours, Maximum 24 hours. Longer duration indicates longer sleep duration. Ideal range is 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

  4 months

• Self-Reported Sleep Duration

• Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS): Sleep Disturbance Insomnia Subscale

  Four item subscale of the larger 8 item Sleep Disturbance scale. Likert-type responses: 1 = Not at all to 5 = Very much). T-Scores were created using HealthMeasures Scoring service, where data are uploaded into the HealthMeasures scoring service website, which generates T-Scores. This is considered the most accurate option. T-Scores estimates were developed using a population of 2,252 participants, 259 of which had clinical sleep disorders, and was intended to be representative of the US population. This is the reference population that the T-score means and SDs were calibrated and centered with. The T-Scores that HealthMeasures generates are not precisely at a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 because they are based on the unique MESH samples. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more of the concept being measured (worse).

The T-Scores that HealthMeasures generates are not precisely at a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 because they are based on the unique MESH samples. A higher PROMIS T-score represents more sleep impairment (worse).

  9 months

• Actigraphic Sleep Duration: Total Sleep Time (TST)

  Actigraphic measurements obtained using Actiwatch2 worn for 3 weeks Average sleep duration in hours Great duration generally better, with target range of 7-9 hours each sleep period.

  9 months

• Actigraphic Sleep Efficiency: Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO)

  Actigraphic measurements obtained using Actiwatch2 worn for 3 weeks Average number of minutes spent awake during the sleep period. More minutes indicates worse outcome.
