Recruitment Post Content:

Researchers at the Mays Cancer Center are seeking US-based adults diagnosed with blood cancer and experiencing sleep disturbance to participate in a 20-week remote study testing a digital wellness intervention. Participants in this study will be assigned to use one of two digital wellness apps 10 minutes per day over 8-weeks to determine if it can help improve sleep, immune function, and other psychological and emotional outcomes.

 

This study is completely remote (there are no in-person visits with the research team) and patients from across the USA are invited.

 

Participating in this research will help build knowledge about new ways to manage sleep problems in people diagnosed with blood cancer.

 

You may qualify for the study if you:

  • Are over 18 and reside in the USA
  • Have a blood cancer diagnosis and are currently receiving treatment
  • Experience sleep disturbance, such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or poor quality of sleep
  • Own a smartphone
  • Are willing to complete the study procedures

Participation involves:

  • One brief 30-minute virtual meeting with a research assistant
  • Completing online surveys
  • Providing three blood samples over the 20-week study at a lab close to you
  • Tracking sleep using a small device and daily diary
  • Using a wellness app for 10 minutes per day for 8-weeks

Participants who qualify and are enrolled in the study will be compensated at regular intervals, up to $100 total.
