Bedtime Stories: Tailored Sleep Health Messaging for Caregivers

Description

To date, there are very few established sleep health education models targeting caregivers of school-aged children from historically marginalized and/or low income communities. To address this significant gap, this project seeks to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program to improve sleep behavior. Bedtime Stories is a multi-stakeholder (health care providers, school-aged children, and caregivers of school-aged children) and a multi-component program. The caregiver component of the program utilizes mobile health technology with targeted and tailored sleep health messaging for caregivers of school-aged children. Addressing these aims will help to mitigate gaps in the delivery of health care services to caregivers and families in low income and historically marginalized communities, where services and interventions are scant.
