The PPSN study will soon be recruiting youth ages 10-13 currently engaged in Primary Care.
Sleep disturbances in childhood can lead to predispositions for later development of mental disorders. The Pediatric Precision Sleep Network (PPSN) investigates sleep patterns in peri-adolescence to see how this affects their mental health over time.
The Pediatric Precision Sleep Network (PPSN) research study is being conducted to examine sleep patterns during peri-adolescence to observe how disordered sleep is linked to predispositions to mental illness diagnoses later in life.
Some predispositions to mental illness may be caused by sleep disturbances during development. The Pediatric Precision Sleep Network explores patterns of sleep during peri-adolescence to detect these predispositions and improve screening techniques for primary care settings.
