On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, Dr. Lauren Asarnow presented a webinar to discuss sleep as a potential target for intervention in the prevention and treatment of mental and physical health problems.
Her research program, Child and Adolescent Behavioral Sleep Medicine, aims to reduce the burden of mental illness in youth by developing behavioral interventions that are effective, youth-friendly, engaging, widely disseminable, and easily accessible. This presentation is recommended for adolescents aged 13 and up, their families, and the general public.
Among Dr. Asarnow’s publications are Sleep and Mood Disorders Among Youth, and Sleep in Youth with Repeated Harm and High Suicidality: Does Sleep Predict Self-Harm Risk? She received the NARSAD Young Investigator Award from the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation and the Access to Care Award from the Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation, to name a few.
