Leveraging Social Networks to Improve Sleep and Mindfulness Among Older Adults in Residential Housing Facilities

Conditions

Sleep health and mindfulness intervention — BEHAVIORAL
This educational, healthy lifestyle intervention will include several modules detailing sleep health and mindfulness strategies. In addition, opinion leaders will be identified in the population to help diffuse messages through each housing facility.

The aim of this study is to design a sleep and mindfulness intervention to improve sleep, quality of life, and cognitive function among older adults.

Experimental: Sleep Health and Mindfulness Program for Older Adults
This grant will develop and design an adapted version of an existing, effective Sleep Health Program, which will be coupled with mindfulness content, to meet the needs and unique barriers older adults in housing facilities face. The modules for the proposed Sleep Health and Mindfulness program will be designed in collaboration with the implementation partner, the City of Boston Age Strong Commission, whose talented leaders and staff have decades of experience designing programs for seniors on a variety of topics, including mindfulness.
