Exploring sleep outcomes in youth across settings: Are there differences based on rurality or medically underserved status in the ECHO cohort?
This study is novel because it evaluates differences in youth sleep health based on rurality and medically underserved status in the United States. Multiple variations in children's sleep health were identified based on living in medically underserved areas while minimal differences were noted based on rurality. Future research should focus on the development or dissemination of effective programs into pre-established resources (e.g., daycares, community centers) for youth in medically underserved areas.
