Pilot Study of a Brief Behavioral Sleep Intervention for School-Aged Children

54 parent-child dyads participated in a multi-method pilot study evaluating a brief behavioral sleep intervention. The dataset likely contains measures of parental knowledge, child sleep disturbance, pediatric insomnia severity, and parental self-efficacy collected before and after the intervention. The study was authored by Isabella Delores Wright and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing changes in parental knowledge of healthy sleep practices based on pre- and post-intervention assessments.
• Evaluating the preliminary efficacy of a brief behavioral intervention on child sleep disturbance scores.
• Studying the relationship between parental self-efficacy and pediatric insomnia severity following an intervention.
• Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a personalized sleep health intervention based on qualitative feedback.

Strengths

• Includes data from 54 parent-child dyads, providing a community-based sample.
• Combines quantitative measures (e.g., parental knowledge, sleep disturbance) with qualitative feedback on intervention acceptability.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse and adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Objective sleep measures (sleep duration, onset latency) did not show significant change, and sleep efficiency declined.
• The dataset is very small (21.0 KB), indicating limited scope.
