What the trial wants to find out

Rural communities in the southern U.S. suffer a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from cardiometabolic disease, with traditional risk factors explaining only a modest proportion of the excess burden of disease. There is considerable evidence that multiple dimensions of sleep health, including sleep duration, efficiency, timing, and regularity, as well as the disorders sleep apnea and insomnia, affect cardiometabolic disease risk. However, there is currently a lack of systematically developed sleep data in rural populations. The RURAL Sleep Study is an ancillary study to a recently initiated longitudinal epidemiology study in rural Appalachia and Mississippi Delta (the RURAL Study). The RURAL Sleep Study will add measures of sleep health to the complex individual, social and environmental factors and health outcome measures being evaluated by the RURAL Study, by incorporating minimally burdensome measures of multiple dimensions of sleep health. The results are expected to inform health care providers, public health officials, and the general public of the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of impaired sleep health in these rural communities, providing a critical basis for prevention, recognition, and management of sleep disorders and improvement of sleep and cardiometabolic health.
