Treating Infant Sleep Problems as a Public Health Issue
Infant sleep problems are a serious impediment to children's healthy growth and development. This CYHRNet workshop, led by infant sleep expert Dr. Wendy Hall, examined questions such as what is normal infant sleep? What is an infant sleep problem? Why are infant sleep issues problematic? What treatments have been shown to be efficacious, and how can we link this to public health?
Dr. Wendy Hall is Coordinator of UBC's School of Nursing PhD program and lead investigator of the Rocky Sleep Study -- a CIHR-funded randomized control trial which studies the impact of a night-waking intervention on infant sleep behaviours.
The workshop took place March 5, 2010 at the University of Victoria.

Her research focuses on child and adolescent mental health, resilience in high-risk youth transitioning to young adulthood, and the role of peer victimization in the development of depression and problem behaviours.
