HUGE THANKS to the whole team - including the brilliant lived experience advisory group facilitated by.@McPinFoundation, the funders.@NIHRresearch @OxHealthBRC, the clinical teams in @OxfordHealthNHS & @BHFT, the DMEC, the research team, and most of all the participants.

What are the next steps?. We will now do a large definitive trial starting in 2024 - funded by @wellcometrust.

What did we find?. The trial and the treatment were popular. There were large improvements in sleep that were sustained at the 9 month follow up. There were also potential benefits on anxiety, depression, and psychotic experiences.

What did we do?. In this @NIHRresearch funded feasibility trial, 40 young people at high risk of psychosis took part. Everyone completed assessments at the beginning, after 3 months, and after 9 months. Half the participants received the 8 session SleepWell intervention.

Why do the study? . Sleep problems are common and contribute to a number of mental health problems, including psychosis. We wanted to find out if treating sleep problems in young people at high risk of psychosis could reduce psychotic experiences and improve mental health.
