DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research project aims to characterize the Sleep Health and Sleep Health knowledge of Mexican-American Hispanics and how this affects their health and health disparities. Little is known about the Sleep Health in Hispanics. In a previous report, the prevalence of snoring in a Hispanic-American population was high and was associated with excessive daytime somnolence and cardiovascular disease. It has also been suggested that acculturation to the American lifestyle may actually be detrimental to Hispanics, in terms of adopting positive health behaviors, including healthy sleep behaviors. This project hypothesizes that the Sleep Health and Sleep Health knowledge are lower among Mexican-American Hispanics as compared to non-Hispanic Whites, and this is associated with poorer quality of life and overall health. We also hypothesize that acculturation to the American lifestyle is associated with the Sleep Health of Mexican-American Hispanics. To test these hypotheses we plan to undertake an extensive telephone survey on sleep health, knowledge, and sleep health habits among 2,000 randomly selected adult subjects who identify themselves as Mexican-American in the San Diego California area and compare them to 2,000 individuals who identify themselves as non-Hispanic White. We also plan to obtain prevalence data on sleep disordered breathing, restless leg syndrome and insomnia, and parasomnias by performing overnight sleep studies in a random sample of 500 subjects per group. If our hypotheses are correct, interventions to improve health and health disparities among U.S. Mexican-American Hispanics should include intensive focus on Sleep Health and Sleep Health knowledge deficits. Key Words: Sleep disorders; Minority health; Epidemiology.

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究项目旨在表征墨西哥裔美国人西班牙裔的睡眠健康和睡眠健康知识，以及这如何影响其健康和健康差异。关于西班牙裔的睡眠健康知之甚少。在先前的报告中，西班牙裔美国人人口中打s的患病率很高，并且与白天的迟感和心血管疾病有关。还建议，在采用积极的健康行为（包括健康的睡眠行为）方面，对美国生活方式的适应实际上可能对西班牙裔有害。该项目假设与非西班牙裔白人相比，墨西哥裔美国人西班牙裔人的睡眠健康和睡眠健康知识较低，这与生活质量较差和整体健康有关。我们还假设对美国生活方式的适应与墨西哥裔美国人西班牙裔的睡眠健康有关。为了检验这些假设，我们计划在2,000名随机选择的成年受试者中对睡眠健康，知识和睡眠健康习惯进行广泛的电话调查，这些受试者在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥地区确定自己是墨西哥裔美国人，并将他们与2,000名认定为非西班牙裔白人的人进行比较。我们还计划通过在每组500名受试者的随机样本中进行过夜的睡眠研究，以获取有关睡眠障碍呼吸，不安的腿综合征和失眠症以及旁传的患病率数据。如果我们的假设是正确的，那么在美国墨西哥裔美国人西班牙裔中改善健康和健康差异的干预措施应包括对睡眠健康和睡眠健康知识缺陷的密集关注。关键词：睡眠障碍；少数民族健康；流行病学。
