A Sleep Hygiene Intervention to Improve Sleep Quality in Urban, Latino Middle School Children - Phase 1

Completed

Conditions studied: Sleep, Sleep Hygiene, Inadequate

In brief

Sleep is essential for children's daytime functioning and health. Poorer sleep hygiene can negatively affect sleep outcomes in children. Urban Latino children are at greater risk for poor sleep hygiene and poor quality sleep due to exposure to higher levels of urban and cultural stressors. This project aims to refine and test a novel school-based intervention to improve sleep hygiene and in turn, sleep quality in urban Latino middle school children. An existing sleep hygiene intervention that has been shown to improve sleep in urban children will be culturally and contextually tailored and has the potential to exert greater improvements in sleep hygiene and sleep outcomes for this high-risk group.
