OBJECTIVES: In this study, we examine the association of @entity565 ( @entity565 symptoms, @entity565 control, lung function) and sleep problems in a group of urban @entity1 . The role of @entity2023 ( @entity2023 ), a comorbid condition of @entity565 , on @entity1 's sleep problems is also examined. Finally, we investigate whether sleep hygiene moderates the association between @entity565 and sleep problems, and whether there are differences in these associations based on ethnic background. METHODS: Non-Latino White, Latino, and African American urban @entity1 with @entity565 (n = 195) ages 7-9 (47% female) and their primary caregivers participated in a baseline visit involving interview-based questionnaires on demographics, @entity565 and @entity2490 control, and caregiver report of @entity1 's sleep problems and sleep hygiene. @entity1 and their caregivers participated in a clinical evaluation of @entity565 and @entity2023 , followed by a month monitoring period of @entity1 's @entity565 using objective and subjective methods. RESULTS: @entity25 scores were higher in @entity1 of the sample who were from African American and Latino backgrounds, compared to non-Latino white @entity1 . Poor @entity565 control was predictive of higher levels of sleep problems in the entire sample. Poorer @entity2023 control also was related to more sleep problems, over and above @entity1 's @entity565 in the sample. This association was more robust in non-Latino white @entity1 . Poor sleep hygiene heightened the association between poor @entity565 control and sleep problems in the entire sample and in African American @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: Multidisciplinary interventions integrating the co-management of @entity565 , @entity2023 , and the effects of both illnesses on @entity1 's sleep, need to be developed and tailored to @entity1 and their families' ethnic background.
