Learning Objectives

• Interpret findings from the Charisma Study linking delayed sleep phase and reduced adiponectin levels in youth and evaluate potential implications for metabolic health and sleep-focused interventions
• Evaluate the effectiveness and implementation strategies of the Better Nights, Better Days (BNBD) program in translating evidence-based pediatric sleep interventions into accessible, scalable clinical practice
• Interpret multi-method findings on the associations between sleep patterns and mental health symptoms in adolescents and young adults with and without cystic fibrosis, to inform integrated screening and intervention strategies
• Evaluate the relationship between caregiver stress management strategies and pediatric sleep outcomes in socioeconomically disadvantaged families, to inform supportive interventions that promote sleep health and family well-being
• Analyze how socioecological and culutral beliefs about night waking among Mexican American mothers relate to parenting practices and toddler sleep outcomes, to inform culutrally responsive sleep interventions
