Environmental Risk Factors for Pediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing
In this research study, investigators want to learn more about the factors that influence
children's breathing during sleep and their sleep quality. Specifically, investigators are
interested in factors that are related to risk of snoring, sleep apnea (a condition where
breathing stops during sleep), and poor sleep quality.
children's breathing during sleep and their sleep quality. Specifically, investigators are
interested in factors that are related to risk of snoring, sleep apnea (a condition where
breathing stops during sleep), and poor sleep quality.
Investigators are doing a research study to gather information to help better understand why
snoring and sleep problems are so common in the community, and how the home and neighborhood
environment impacts sleep in children. Investigators want to know if factors such as the
quality of air, household dust, environmental noise, and family routines impact sleep and
other health and behavioral factors associated with sleep.
Investigators want to test how sleep is influenced by factors such as: the quality of air
inside and outside the child's home (including measuring pollution, second hand smoke, and
dust); temperature and humidity; family routines and interactions; and characteristics of the
home. Investigators will ask participants to come in for a one time visit for undergoing
procedures as well as answering questions regarding general health, asthma and sleep. 10% of
the participating children will have a second home assessment and sleep monitoring procedures
performed 6 months after the initial home assessment.
