Impact of Bed Provision and Sleep Education
Impact of Bed Provision and Enhanced Sleep Health Education on Sleep in Socio-economically Disadvantaged Children

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Insufficient and poor-quality sleep impacts more than half of school-aged children, and is associated with significant impairments in child neurocognitive, academic, behavioral, and physical health functioning. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) children are at increased risk for poor sleep. Compared to their higher-SES peers, lower-SES youth tend to obtain less sleep overall and experience worse sleep quality. Many children of lower-SES also may live in noisy or high-violence neighborhoods and in overcrowded homes that lack a child bed or other designated child sleep space. These environmental factors may perpetuate SES-related health disparities in child sleep duration, quality, and poor sleep health behaviors (i.e., bedroom electronics). Although there is a robust evidence-base for treating childhood sleep problems, there is a paucity of sleep intervention research focused on lower-SES children.
Beds for Kids is a Philadelphia-area program that is part of the larger volunteer organization, One House at a Time, that provides lower-SES children with beds, bedding, and a sleep education brochure. To qualify for program participation, youth must be: (1) between the ages of 2 and 20 years, (2) living without an individual bed (e.g., sleeping on the floor, on a sofa, or crowded into one bed with family members), and (3) living in a household whose income is at or below 100 percent of the United States poverty threshold. The program accepts referrals from area social service agencies in the greater Philadelphia area.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Enhanced Sleep Health Education
50 families will be randomly assigned to receive sleep health education delivered in two telephone sessions by Beds for Kids staff members, in addition to receiving the standard Beds for Kids program (bed, bedding, written sleep education materials).
The first session will occur approximately 2-3 days before bed delivery.
The second 15-20-minute session will occur approximately one week following bed delivery.
Sleep health education training and supervision of Beds for Kids staff members will be provided by board-certified Behavioral Sleep Medicine providers.
Sleep health information will be manualized and will consist of evidence-based pediatric sleep health behaviors: ensuring adequate sleep duration, developing a bedtime routine, keeping a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine, and eliminating electronics in the bedroom and at bedtime.
The enhanced sleep health intervention sessions will also include individualized problem-solving and tailoring to meet the family's needs.

The intervention comprehensively addresses poor sleep health behaviors.
Personalized sleep health education will be delivered in two telephone sessions by Beds for Kids staff members.
Sleep health information will consist of the following evidence-based pediatric sleep health behaviors: ensuring adequate sleep duration, developing a family bedtime routine, keeping a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine, and eliminating electronics in the bedroom and at bedtime.
The enhanced sleep health intervention sessions will also include individualized problem-solving and tailoring to meet the family's needs.
Personalization will be accomplished via direct questions to families during the education phone call related to their own barriers to achieving healthy sleep habits and goals for optimal sleep.
|
Active Comparator: Beds for Kids Standard Program
50 families will be randomly assigned to the standard Beds for Kids program, which includes a bed, bedding, and written sleep education materials.
|
The Beds for Kids program provides beds, bedding, and written healthy sleep education to families living at or below 100% of the federal poverty line and without an individual child bed to sleep in.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Treatment acceptability: Treatment Evaluation Inventory-Short Form
Time Frame: 2 months
|
Caregivers randomized to the enhanced sleep health education arm will complete the Treatment Evaluation Inventory-Short Form, a widely used measure of treatment acceptability that has been adapted for the purposes of the Beds for Kids intervention.
Caregivers will complete an electronic survey with questions related to aspects of the intervention including perceived efficacy/helpfulness and acceptability of the intervention.
Seven items will be rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 'strongly disagree' and to 5 'strongly agree' with total scores ranging from 1 to 35 (higher scores denoting higher acceptability).
In addition, the percent of participants who indicate they "agree" or "strongly agree" for each of the 4 items (acceptability of measures) and 3 items (helpfulness) will be reported.

Sleep health-related behaviors
Time Frame: 2 months
|
The Pediatric Sleep Practices Questionnaire is a 7 item measure related to sleep health-related practices, including bedtime routine consistency, the use of electronics prior to bedtime, sleep schedule regularity, and parental presence at bedtime, resulting in three subscales: total sleep timing (range 0-4), total routines/consistency (range 0-6), and total sleep environment (range 0-6).
Two additional subscales include technology usage before bed (range 0-4) and the child's need for someone to fall asleep with them (range 0-2).
Total scores range from 0 to 22. Higher scores denote poorer sleep practices.

Sleep outcomes
Time Frame: 2 months
|
Children and their caregivers will report on child sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairments, using the reliable and valid Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) self-and caregiver-proxy-report scales for pediatric sleep. To measure sleep disturbance, the PROMIS Parent Proxy Sleep Disturbance - Short Form 8a and the PROMIS Pediatric Sleep Disturbance - Short Form 8a will be completed. For the measurement of impairments of daily function related to lack of sleep, the PROMIS Parent Proxy Sleep-Related Impairment - Short Form 8a and the PROMIS Pediatric Sleep-Related Impairment - Short Form 8a will be completed. Items on all four assessments are rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 'never' to 5 'always,' with total sum scores for each measure ranging from 1 to 40 (higher scores denoting greater sleep disturbance or impairment). Scores will be converted into normative-based T-scores. |
