Implementing Behavioral Sleep Intervention in Urban Primary Care

The intervention comprehensively addresses poor sleep health behaviors (e.g., use of electronics at bedtime; inconsistent and variable sleep schedules; lack of a bedtime routine) as well as insomnia (difficulty falling and staying asleep; the need for caregiver presence at bedtime) and insufficient sleep in toddlers and preschoolers. Interventionists will use strategies to engage with and empower families, such as motivational interviewing and collaborative problem-solving. Session content will be reinforced via phone calls from interventionists. Families will receive intervention session appointment reminders and information about intervention content (e.g., reminders to follow a bedtime routine) via text message.
