INTRODUCTION
Disturbed sleep is a public health problem, but few studies describe the prevalence of sleep problems among Hispanic adolescents. We estimated the prevalence of disturbed sleep and associated factors among ninth graders living on the Texas-Mexico border.
METHODS
We used probabilistic sampling to conduct 2 cross-sectional, school-based surveys: 1 during the 2000-2001 school year in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas (n = 4,901), and 1 during the 2002-2003 school year in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico (n = 669). We assessed disturbed sleep during the 4 weeks before the survey.
RESULTS
The prevalence of disturbed sleep in Matamoros was 36% and in the Lower Rio Grande Valley was 28%. Factors associated with disturbed sleep in both populations were smoking cigarettes, having ever used cocaine, having been forced to have sex, considering attempting suicide, feeling sad, and going without eating for 24 hours or more.
CONCLUSION
This study revealed a high prevalence of disturbed sleep in high school students living on the Texas-Mexico border. This public health issue should be further investigated in both communities.
简介
睡眠障碍是一个公共卫生问题，但很少有研究描述西班牙裔青少年的睡眠问题的流行率。我们评估了生活在德克萨斯州-墨西哥边境的 9 年级学生中睡眠障碍的流行率及其相关因素。
方法
我们使用概率抽样在 2000-2001 学年和 2002-2003 学年期间在德克萨斯州下里奥格兰德河谷（n = 4901）和墨西哥塔毛利帕斯州马塔莫罗斯（n = 669）进行了 2 项横断面、基于学校的调查。我们评估了调查前 4 周的睡眠障碍情况。
结果
马塔莫罗斯的睡眠障碍患病率为 36%，下里奥格兰德河谷的患病率为 28%。两个地区的睡眠障碍相关因素均为吸烟、曾使用可卡因、被迫发生性行为、考虑自杀、感到悲伤以及连续 24 小时或更长时间不进食。
结论
本研究揭示了生活在德克萨斯州-墨西哥边境的高中生中睡眠障碍的高患病率。这一公共卫生问题应在两个社区进一步调查。
