Abstract

BACKGROUND

The best way of comparing healthcare treatments is through a randomised trial. In a randomised trial, we compare something (a treatment or intervention) to something else, often another treatment. Who gets what is decided at random, meaning everyone has an equal chance of getting any of the treatments. This means any differences found can be put down to the treatment received rather than other things, such as where people live, or health conditions they might have. The People's Trial aimed to help the public better understand randomised trials by inviting them to design and carry out a trial. The question chosen by the public for The People's Trial was: 'Does reading a book in bed make a difference to sleep, in comparison to not reading a book in bed?' This paper describes that trial, called 'The Reading Trial'.

METHODS

The Reading Trial was an online, randomised trial. Members of the public were invited to take part through social media campaigns. People were asked to either read a book in bed before going to sleep (intervention group) or not read a book in bed before going to sleep (control group). We asked everyone to do this for 7 days, after which they measured their sleep quality.

RESULTS

During December 2019, a total of 991 people took part in The Reading Trial, half (496 (50%)) in the intervention group and half (495 (50%)) in the control group. Not everyone finished the trial: 127 (25.6%) people in the intervention group and 90 (18.18%) people in the control group. Of those providing data, 156/369 (42%) people in the intervention group felt their sleep improved, compared to 112/405 (28%) of those in the control group, a difference of 14%. When we consider how certain we are of this finding, we estimate that, in The Reading Trial, sleep improved for between 8 and 22% more people in the intervention group compared to the control group.

CONCLUSIONS

Reading a book in bed before going to sleep improved sleep quality, compared to not reading a book in bed.

摘要

背景

比较医疗保健治疗方法的最佳方式是通过随机试验。在随机试验中，我们将某事物（治疗或干预）与其他事物进行比较，通常是另一种治疗方法。谁接受什么是随机决定的，这意味着每个人都有平等的机会接受任何一种治疗。这意味着发现的任何差异都可以归因于所接受的治疗，而不是其他因素，例如人们居住的地方或他们可能有的健康状况。“人民试验”旨在通过邀请公众设计和进行试验，帮助公众更好地理解随机试验。公众为“人民试验”选择的问题是：“睡前在床上看书与不看书相比，对睡眠有影响吗？”本文介绍了这项名为“阅读试验”的试验。

方法

阅读试验是一项在线随机试验。通过社交媒体活动邀请公众参与。人们被要求在睡前在床上看书（干预组）或不看书（对照组）。我们要求每个人都这样做 7 天，然后测量他们的睡眠质量。

结果

2019 年 12 月期间，共有 991 人参加了阅读试验，其中一半（496（50%））在干预组，另一半（495（50%））在对照组。并非所有人都完成了试验：干预组有 127 人（25.6%），对照组有 90 人（18.18%）。在提供数据的人中，干预组有 156/369（42%）人感觉自己的睡眠质量有所改善，而对照组有 112/405（28%）人感觉自己的睡眠质量有所改善，差异为 14%。当我们考虑我们对这一发现的把握程度时，我们估计，在阅读试验中，与对照组相比，干预组中睡眠质量改善的人数多 8%至 22%。
