DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed longitudinal study investigates early sleep development and its relation to infant-mother interaction and neonatal medical risks in preterm/low birth weight (PT LBW) infants. This study, which is an extension of Dr. Poehlmann's NIH-funded R01, follows infants for 2 years and involves data collected at hospital discharge, 4, 9, and 24 months (corrected for gestational age). This extension has 3 specific aims, which are not addressed in the original grant: (1) to document the development of sleep patterns in PT LBW infants over the first two years of life, (2) to investigate infant-mother interaction quality as a mediator of the relationship between neonatal health risks and early sleep problems, and (3) to investigate whether early PT LBW infant sleep problems lead to less, optimal infant-mother interactions over time, thus amplifying infant sleep problems at 2 years. The proposed investigation will advance the field of child development by examining the longitudinal processes involved in the development of early sleep regulation and will extend our knowledge of (1) PT LBW infant sleep, (2) the interaction of infant-mother relations and infant sleep over time, and (3) how neonatal medical risks directly and indirectly relate to the development of sleep problems.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的纵向研究调查了早产/低出生体重（PT LBW）婴儿的早期睡眠发育及其与母婴互动和新生儿医疗风险的关系。这项研究是 Poehlmann 博士的 NIH 资助的 R01 的延伸，对婴儿进行了 2 年的跟踪研究，并涉及出院时、4 个月、9 个月和 24 个月时收集的数据（根据胎龄进行校正）。这一扩展有 3 个具体目标，在最初的拨款中没有提及：(1) 记录 PT LBW 婴儿在生命的头两年内睡眠模式的发展，(2) 调查母婴互动质量作为新生儿健康风险和早期睡眠问题之间关系的中介因素，以及 (3) 调查早期 PT LBW 婴儿睡眠问题是否会随着时间的推移导致较少的、最佳的母婴互动，从而增强婴儿睡眠 2年的问题。拟议的调查将通过检查早期睡眠调节发展所涉及的纵向过程来推进儿童发展领域，并将扩展我们对以下方面的认识：(1) PT LBW 婴儿睡眠，(2) 母婴关系与婴儿睡眠随时间的相互作用，以及 (3) 新生儿医疗风险如何直接和间接与睡眠问题的发展相关。
