Understanding the factors affecting sleep health in children
Defining Relationships of Early Mediators and Moderators of Sleep (DREAMS)
['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI · NIH-10933840
This study is looking into why some kids don’t get enough sleep and how that affects their health and learning, especially for those from families facing tough challenges, so we can find better ways to help them sleep well.

What this research studies
This research investigates the causes of sleep deficiency in children and its impact on their health and learning. It aims to identify how socioecological factors, such as family income and mental health, contribute to sleep health disparities among children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The study will utilize a socioecological framework to analyze the relationships between these factors and early sleep health outcomes. By focusing on underdiagnosed issues in primary care, the research seeks to develop effective strategies and policies to improve sleep health in children.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include children aged 0-11 years, particularly those from low-income families or facing other risk factors.
Not a fit: Patients who are not children or those without sleep health issues may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved sleep health interventions for children, reducing disparities and enhancing their overall well-being.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that addressing socioecological factors can significantly improve health outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
