Brief description of study
DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE A HEALTHY BABY BETWEEN THE AGES 0F 3 AND 6 MONTHS?
Researchers at Riley Hospital for Children
at IU Health are looking for Black and/or Hispanic parents for a research study on infant sleep, feeding, and health.
Through this research study we want to learn about your
child’s sleeping and eating patterns, and how your child grows during
their first two years. We are focusing on Black and Hispanic families,
because less research has been done in these families.
Research participants will be paid up to $400 in gift cards for study activities, including completing online forms, two virtual visits, and wearing a sleep tracker for one week.

Detailed description of study
What Happens in the Study
- You will be asked to attend 2 virtual study visits (1 hr each)
- Your family’s involvement in the study will take about one month.
- We will also follow your child’s growth over the next two years by reviewing their medical records.
- Completing online forms (approx. 2hrs): We will ask for information about your family background and your baby’s sleep, feeding, and health.
- Collecting a small hair sample (10 min) from yourself and your baby: You will be given instructions and will return the samples by mail (samples will be used to test for a stress hormone called cortisol).
- Completing a sleep tacker and daily activity log: For one week we will ask you and your baby to wear a sleep tracker during the day and at night (you will wear the sleep tracker around your wrist and the baby will wear it on the ankle) and we will send you an 5 minute online form each morning where we ask about your baby’s sleep and eating over the past day.
- Medical records: For the next two years, we will check your child’s medical record for their growth, such as height and weight (you will not need to do anything during this time).
Compensation for Participating
- Families who complete all study activities can receive up to $400 in gift cards.
