OBJECTIVE
Urban minority girls are at risk for summertime weight gain, and may also experience insufficient summertime sleep. Few studies have objectively measured sleep in this population or examined correlates, including physical activity (PA). This study is the first to objectively describe summertime sleep among urban minority girls.
METHODS
Data were collected at a community-based summer program that promoted PA (n = 60 girls, ages 10-14 years), at two time points: before beginning programming (T1; unstructured context) and during the final week of programming (T2; structured context).
RESULTS
At both time points, participants experienced shorter nighttime sleep than the recommended amount for girls their age. African American girls recorded significantly less sleep than Latina girls in the unstructured context. Findings also suggest that sleep schedules have an influential role in youths' abilities to obtain adequate sleep.
CONCLUSION
Overall, summertime sleep is an understudied health behavior that may be important to consider among minority youth.
目的
城市少数民族女孩在夏季有体重增加的风险，并且可能夏季睡眠不足。很少有研究客观地测量过该人群的睡眠情况或探究相关因素，包括身体活动（PA）。本研究首次客观地描述了城市少数民族女孩的夏季睡眠情况。
方法
在一个以社区为基础的促进身体活动的暑期项目中收集数据（n = 60名年龄在10 - 14岁的女孩），在两个时间点进行：项目开始前（T1；非结构化环境）和项目最后一周（T2；结构化环境）。
结果
在两个时间点，参与者的夜间睡眠时间均短于同年龄女孩的推荐睡眠时间。在非结构化环境中，非裔美国女孩的睡眠时间明显少于拉丁裔女孩。研究结果还表明，睡眠时间表对青少年获得充足睡眠的能力有重要影响。
结论
总体而言，夏季睡眠是一种研究较少的健康行为，对于少数民族青少年来说可能是一个需要考虑的重要因素。
