To use the children's sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ) to characterize sleep problems in a group of 5- to 6-year-old minority children living in urban communities and to compare our findings with data from 5- to 6-year-old children in the original CSHQ validation study.
A cross-sectional study design was used to collect sleep data from parents using the CSHQ.
The CSHQ was completed by 160 parents; 150 (94%) scored ≥41, indicating a sleep problem. The prevalence of having sleep problems for our minority community sample was significantly higher than the original community sample (94% vs. 23%, P < .001). The minority sample also had significantly higher mean total CSHQ scores (51.5 vs 37.9, P < .001) and higher scores across all 8 subscales of the CSHQ (P < .001 for all comparisons).
The results suggest that sleep problems may be more prevalent in urban, early-school-aged minority children than previously reported.
使用儿童睡眠习惯问卷（CSHQ）对一组居住在城市社区的5至6岁少数族裔儿童的睡眠问题进行特征描述，并将我们的研究结果与CSHQ原始验证研究中5至6岁儿童的数据进行比较。
采用横断面研究设计，通过CSHQ从家长处收集睡眠数据。
160名家长完成了CSHQ；150名（94%）得分≥41，表明存在睡眠问题。我们的少数族裔社区样本中存在睡眠问题的患病率显著高于原始社区样本（94%对23%，P<.001）。少数族裔样本的CSHQ总平均分也显著更高（51.5对37.9，P<.001），并且在CSHQ的所有8个分量表上得分都更高（所有比较的P<.001）。
结果表明，城市中早期学龄少数族裔儿童的睡眠问题可能比之前报道的更为普遍。
