Healthy Sleep Intervention For Preschool Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial of the SHIP Intervention
The SHIP study is a randomized controlled trial of an intervention for preschool children
with sleep problems, in which we aim to give parents the knowledge, motivation, and skills
necessary to set goals, problem-solve, and improve their child's sleep. In collecting three
years of follow-up data, we will be able to determine the impact of the SHIP intervention on
childhood sleep problems, obesity, academic achievement, and emotional and behavioral
problems, as well as parental stress and daytime tiredness. This study has the dual potential
to expand treatment resources for young children with behavioral sleep problems and to
increase our scientific understanding of the long-term consequences of early childhood sleep
problems.
