This study uses a mixed-methods community-based participatory research approach to increase total sleep time in American Indian parent-child dyads. In the first phase of this work, we conducted focus groups with Blackfeet families to learn about the sleep environment and individual elder interviews to learn about Blackfoot traditional beliefs on sleep. This data was used to develop a sleep intervention that is currently ongoing. The intervention includes Blackfeet language and songs as well as elder stories on Blackfeet beliefs and experiences. In addition, western approaches to sleep are included to increase nightly sleep.
This presentation addresses increasing health equity through information and fits within the mission and goals of NNLM by highlighting the work of diverse researchers.
This webinar session is for educational and informational purposes in alignment with NNLM goals and does not offer medical advice.
