Abstract
Results from an expanding body of research suggest that sleep problems resulting in inadequate sleep ;may be particularly prevalent among children of minority status and/or low socioeconomic status (SES), and healthcare professionals should be especially attuned to screening for sleep problems in these populations, especially in the case of children with daytime behavioral concerns or attentional problems (Daniel, Grant, Chawla & Kothare, 2010).
The purpose of this descriptive qualitative research study was to describe the sleep hygiene practices of healthy, urban minority school children ages 6-12 years old in the Bronx from the perspective of parents /caregivers.
