In the August edition of our 12-part Decolonising Global Health blog series, Dr Nicole Redvers, a member of the Denı́nu Kų́ę́ First Nation and recent DPhil graduate from the Evidence-Based Health Care programme, offers an Indigenous perspective on the decolonisation conversation. Drawing on her experience as a scholar and practitioner, Nicole explores how colonial legacies continue to shape health systems, the distinction between ‘decolonising’ and ‘Indigenising’ and the steps institutions like Oxford can take to become culturally safe spaces. Her reflections highlight both the challenges and the possibilities of reimagining global health through Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
Randomised Evaluation of Sleep Treatment to Ease Depression (RESTED)
Depression is a very common and impairing condition. Current treatments include antidepressant medication and psychological therapy. Both can be effective, but more than one-third of people do not benefit from these treatments. There are reasons to think that poor sleep is an important contributor to depression, and that if sleep could be improved, depression would improve too. Previous research has shown that we can improve sleep quality using a behavioural treatment called ‘sleep restriction therapy’. This treatment involves reviewing the patient’s current sleep pattern and supporting them to follow a new, personalised sleep schedule. We want to find out whether using this treatment to improve sleep will also improve depression and, if so, how it works.
