Behavioral sleep problems such as insomnia and insufficient sleep are common in toddlers and preschoolers and disproportionately impact lower socioeconomic status (SES) children. Despite a robust evidence base, behavioral sleep interventions are rarely tested with lower-SES children or in primary care, an accessible service delivery setting. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the Sleep Well! behavioral sleep intervention is feasible and acceptable to families. The investigators will also examine the direction and magnitude of change in child sleep and behavior from pre-intervention to post-intervention. This is a randomized controlled trial of the Sleep Well! program with pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments. Caregiver-child dyads (child ages 1-5 years with a sleep problem) will be recruited from CHOP urban primary care sites. Sleep Well! is a brief, behavioral sleep intervention for toddlers and preschoolers who have a caregiver-reported behavioral sleep problem or who are not getting enough sleep. The intervention includes evidence-based behavioral sleep approaches and strategies to engage and empower families. The primary outcomes for this open trial are feasibility (number of caregivers recruited, engaged, and retained in intervention; participant intervention attendance rate) and caregiver acceptability, assessed via a questionnaire and qualitative post-intervention interview. Secondary outcomes are the direction and magnitude in any change in child sleep. Tertiary outcomes are the direction and magnitude in change in child behavior. Assessments occur at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up.
