The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $433,125 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to develop and evaluate a culturally adapted sleep intervention program for older Korean immigrants with limited English proficiency. In Year 1, UCLA will refine an existing behavioral sleep therapy program with input from stakeholders and the target population, and train a sleep educator to deliver the intervention at a community-based agency. In Year 2, UCLA will conduct a pilot randomized trial to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the culturally adapted sleep program compared to a general sleep education control group. If successful, these findings will support a larger clinical trial to further examine the long-term impacts of the intervention. The goal is to address the significant sleep health disparities experienced by Asian immigrant populations and improve their overall health and quality of life.
