  • Seeking Human Subjects

    We are recruiting 18–49-year-old women who identify as Black, multiracial
    (including Black) or Hispanic/Latina for a research study to learn about factors
    that influence sleep among Black and Hispanic women. Participation involves
    completing surveys, wearing a sleep monitoring wristwatch for 2 weeks, one
    interview on Zoom and an optional one-night sleep study at home (wearing a
    small sleep monitoring device on your forehead while you sleep). The surveys
    will consist of questions about your physical and mental health, sleep, factors
    that influence your sleep, and demographics.

    Participants will receive up to $150 for completing the study. This study will be
    completed online and at home. This study was approved by the IRB, Protocol
    H22-0126.

    Criteria:
    o Identify as a Black/Hispanic woman
    o Not currently pregnant
    o 18-49 years of age
    o Fluent in English
