The Sleep Center at CHOP studies the full spectrum of sleep including behavioral interventions, clinical trials, epidemiology, and complex physiological studies. Our research goals are to:

• Promote healthy sleep across the age spectrum
• Optimize referrals of children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) to tertiary care
• Address health disparities in pediatric SDB
• Establish best treatments for children with SDB
• Determine medical and behavioral factors influencing adherence to positive airway pressure in a diverse population including individuals with Downs syndrome
• Determine the feasibility and acceptability of home sleep apnea testing in children
• Characterize sleep and SDB in infants
