About this study

In plain language

This study looks at sleep problems that have not been diagnosed in otherwise healthy Somali Americans. It explores how stress, habits, surroundings, and body processes may affect sleep, and how sleep problems may be linked to higher blood pressure.

The aims of this study are to determine the types and severity of previously undiagnosed sleep deficiencies in otherwise healthy Somali Americans, apply a research framework to define psychosocial, behavioral, environmental, and biological mechanisms mediating sleep deficiencies in Somali Americans, and examine the relationship between sleep deficiencies and increased blood pressure in Somali Americans.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
