Conclusions
RP
SECONDARY
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial found that the Sleep SAAF RP intervention for first-time Black mothers increased infants’ nighttime and total sleep duration, reduced nighttime wakings and feedings, and enhanced some aspects of mothers’ responsive sleep practices (eg, bedtime routines and behaviors). These findings provide initial evidence that RP interventions can enhance infant sleep among Black families and call for further research on whether these interventions can reduce early sleep disparities and promote better health for Black individuals in the US.
