Randomised controlled trial of a sleep intervention to improve child behaviour, quality of life and learning [ 2008 - 2011 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Jon Quach (Principal investigator)

Brief description Nearly 20% of Australian parents report a problem with their preschool child's sleep. Child sleep problems are associated with an increased risk of child behaviour problems, poorer quality of life, and likelihood of a child being diagnosed with ADHD. We want to know if an education program for parents of prep children can reduce child sleep problems. It may represent a feasible way of reducing behaviour problems, improving quality of life and academic performance in these crucial years.
