Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of this study included the sparse information about additional behavioral and socioecological factors, such as marital status and social support, that may also interact with young children’s sleep and the absence of objective sleep measures. Another limitation is the small sample of AA mothers and infants in the cohort. Next steps for research in this topic area will include objective sleep measures for mothers and infants (e.g. actigraphy) and increasing the numbers of Black/African American mothers in the research sample. In summary, our study shows racial/ethnic disparities in sleep in infants and mothers at 4 months postpartum across several sleep domains, and these disparities persist after controlling for SES and are not mediated by differences by race/ethnicity in maternal mental health. These results highlight important information on the existing health inequities in our sample. Given the short-term and long-term implications of poor sleep health for infant health and neurodevelopment and for maternal physical and mental health, these results underscore the need to further investigate root causes and mechanisms contributing to these inequities. This knowledge will be crucial to know where to invest resources and how to develop strategies to improve sleep in the postpartum period that account for the needs of populations experiencing health inequities.
