Bedtime Stories: Tailored Sleep Health Messaging for Caregivers

This study is testing a program called "Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program for Caregivers (BTS-C)" to see if it can help caregivers improve sleep habits for school-aged children. The program uses mobile technology to provide caregivers with tailored messages about healthy sleep. We want to understand if this program is practical, acceptable, and easy to use for caregivers. We'll also look at how it affects children's sleep. To join, you need to be at least 18 years old, be a caregiver of a school-aged child (5-11 years old) receiving care at certain Boston-area health centers, and speak English fluently. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
