WHAT IS THIS STUDY ABOUT?

​This study examines the role of stress, discrimination, and protective factors influencing the sleep health of racial and ethnic minority adolescents residing in urban settings.
​
Adolescents and caregivers will come to our lab at Loyola to complete an hour long baseline survey. Adolescents will then be asked to wear a sleep tracking watch and complete short surveys in the morning and evening for 7 days. 

At two additional times during high school, adolescents and caregivers will have the opportunity to fill out online surveys. Adolescents will also be asked to wear a sleep tracking watch and complete short surveys in the morning and evening for 7 days.
