Summary
This study develops and tests a digital sleep intervention called Nurturing Sleep for preschoolers (ages 3-5) living in foster care. Foster parents use a smartphone app to learn about sleep hygiene and receive tailored strategies based on their child's sleep challenges. The goal is to improve child sleep and caregiver-child interactions, with potential for nationwide reach.
