Prevention Strategies to Enhance Young Children's Sleep Development - Part 2

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary signal of effect of a combined school- and home-based sleep promotion program for young children prior to the kindergarten transition.

This pilot randomized controlled study will test a combined school- and home-based sleep promotion intervention designed to improve young children's sleep and classroom behavior. Classrooms will be randomized to either the intervention or waitlist control group. Intervention content will be delivered via text message to parents' phones and in the classroom. The primary aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. The secondary aim is to assess the preliminary signal of effect on children's sleep and classroom behavior. Findings from this study will inform any necessary intervention modifications prior to a fully powered randomized controlled trial.
