Optimizing a Mobile Health Platform for Sleep Promotion and Obesity Prevention in Children
Sponsored by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
About this study
The overall objective of this application is to develop a mobile health platform for the pediatric care setting to promote longer sleep duration for childhood obesity prevention.
Insufficient sleep duration is highly prevalent in childhood and is associated with incident obesity, especially among middle school-aged children. Investigators therefore need to identify strategies to increase sleep duration among children for obesity prevention. The overall objective of this application is to develop a mobile health platform for the pediatric care setting to promote longer sleep duration for childhood obesity prevention. This is a single-site study being conducted at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Investigators will randomize 325 children, aged 8-12y, with a body mass index (BMI) between the 50th-95th percentile, and who sleep \<8.5 hours per night. Clinical measurements will be acquired at CHOP and sleep will be measured in the home setting. The Way to…
