Changes in actigraphy-assessed sleep from childhood to adolescence: The role of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage
This study is the first to show that objectively assessed neighborhood disadvantage is associated with longitudinal changes in actigraphy-assessed sleep quality from childhood to adolescence, and that this association was larger for Black youth than for White youth. The results suggest that neighborhood factors may be key to addressing widening racial disparities in sleep across this developmental period.
