170502	Night waking reduction in Canadian infants: A randomized clinical trial of a parent-based cognitive and behavioural intervention in community health units	Hall Wendy A	Hall, Wendy A	University of British Columbia	British Columbia	Canada	200809	301060.0	Randomized Controlled Trials	Randomized Controlled Trials	Social / Cultural / Environmental / Population Health	Population and Public Health	Behavioural Sleep Problems; Cognitive And Behavioural Intervention; Community Health Nurses; Group Intervention; Infants; Parents; Randomized Controlled Trial	Infant behavioural sleep problems affect up to 50% of infants and contribute to adverse effects for infant development and parents' health. A significant proportion of infants do not grow out of sleep problems. Health care professionals often fail to recognize and treat infant behavioural sleep problems. Parents are exposed to conflicting advice which is frustrating and can undermine their parenting confidence. Extensive research has linked parents' cognitions and behaviours to the development and perpetuation of infant sleep problems. One-on-one approaches to treating behavioural sleep problems have empirical support; however, they often last for several weeks, are costly, and are not widely available to parents. A simple, inexpensive cognitive-behavioural intervention for groups of parents is available to be offered by public health nurses to improve infant sleep problems. Such interventions have not been offered in Canada. An effective, widely available sleep intervention can improve infants' and parents' well being.	2 yrs 6 mths	https://webapps.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/decisions/p/project_details.html?applId=170502&lang=en
