Development of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric Sleep Health Item Banks [Methods Study], United States, 2014-2018

Healthy sleep is important for a child's well-being, school performance, and mood. Doctors can ask children about their sleep health to identify and treat sleep problems. However, few reliable surveys are available for doctors to use to ask children about their sleep.
In this study, the research team created sets of survey questions that asked children or their parents about sleep health. The team interviewed children and their parents to make sure they could understand the questions and that the questions included sleep health topics important to them.
