Randomized trial examines sleep health in teens from various racial/ethnic backgrounds, highlighting significant disparities.

To quantify differences in sleep health experiences across racial and ethnic groups among US teens.
Population-based sample from National Sleep Foundation Sleep in America® Poll (N=1,101)
Data collected included sleep satisfaction, duration, and sleep disorders, analyzed using regression methods adjusted for demographics and socioeconomic factors.
Participants self-reported their race/ethnicity and various sleep-related items.
Black/African-American teens were 72% less likely to report being 'Very Dissatisfied' with sleep (RRR=0.28).
Hispanic/Latino teens reported 62% lower rates of sleep disorder diagnosis and fewer days/week taking sleep-promoting medications.
Blacks/African-American teens felt sleepier (0.61 additional days/week) and reported significantly less weekend sleep (52.7 fewer minutes) than Non-Hispanic Whites.
