dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: Sleep insufficiency is bi-directionally associated with adverse behavioural, physical and mental health outcomes in paediatric populations. However, little is known about the degree of sleep insufficiency and its effect on Pacific adolescents' wellbeing. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 14-year old Pacific adolescents nested within a longitudinal birth cohort was conducted. Self-reported sleep duration was related to sentinel physical, mental, and risk taking behaviour measures in crude and adjusted logistic regression models. Complete case and multiple imputed analyses were conducted. RESULTS: 916 Pacific adolescents were eligible, with a mean age of 14.2 years. Valid sleep data were available from 828 (90.4%) participants, with only 220 (26.6%) meeting the recommended amount of sleep. Insufficient sleep duration was associated with significantly higher rates of depressive symptoms and risk taking behaviours. In multiple imputed analyses, increased body mass index was also significantly related. CONCLUSIONS: Sleep insufficiency is ubiquitous among Pacific adolescents and associated with negative impacts on their health and wellbeing. IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Insufficient sleep duration is amenable to change. Bespoke, culturally responsive public health strategies that draw attention to the importance of positive sleep practices are needed. Particularly, among adolescents who are at risk of experiencing the greatest burden of insufficient sleep.
