Abstract
Children in foster care experience impairing sleep problems that predict greater emotional/behavioral problems. We have developed and are testing a brief, remotely-delivered behavioral sleep intervention for caregivers of young children in foster care. Preliminary results from N=25 families indicate SAFE improves sleep and daytime behavior in this high risk population.
