Summary

This is a pilot intervention of the Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program for healthcare providers serving school aged children and their caregivers. The intervention uses a pre-post design across participants.

Detailed description

To date, there are no established sleep health education programs for healthcare providers. To address this gap, the investigators previously conducted semi-structured interviews with community-based healthcare providers to improve our knowledge and understanding of healthcare providers' attitudes and beliefs about sleep health, factors that may contribute to poor sleep health, and identify potential sleep health promotion strategies for low income, racial and ethnic minority children and their families. Data from those sessions helped to inform and refine content to develop a sleep health education program for community healthcare providers. The purpose of this protocol it assess the effectiveness of the Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program in Community Healthcare Providers (BTS-HP). Healthcare providers from participating community healthcare centers will be invited to participate. Once a healthcare provider expresses interest in participating, they will receive a REDCap link to provide their informed consent. The provider will then complete a short demographic questionnaire via REDCap. Once the healthcare provider consents and completes the short questionnaire, they will receive a secure link to the Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program for Healthcare Providers (BTS-HP). The BTS-HP is an online sleep health education program supported by the Boston Children's Hospital Department of Education (CE Courses - BCH Education (childrenshospital.org). The provider will also receive access to an educational webinar on Melatonin. The provider can participate all modules and the webinar in one sitting or overtime. Once the provider completes the online modules, they will immediately receive an email with a REDCap link to complete their post-participation questionnaire.
