Infant Sleep as a Public Health Issue - Part 8

View more information and resources from this workshop at www.cyhrnet.ca/events/infantsleepproblems

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.
