This proposal will study sleep health in pregnant women who are of low socioeconomic status (SES) and are participating in the NHLBI-funded UH3 grant: "Enhancing Cardiovascular (CV) Health in Mothers and Children Through Home Visiting (ENRICH)". Objective sleep health will be measured using an in-home sleep disordered breathing testing device and actigraphy and associations of sleep health with social determinants of health and CV health will be investigated. Data from this study will serve as the foundation for future work that will result in the development of sleep interventions and updated guidelines for screening and treatment of sleep in pregnancy.

Sleep Health
A sleep health index will be calculated using 7-day wrist actigraphy, a single overnight home SDB testing device, and questionnaires. A sleep health index will be calculated using 10 sleep health components. Each component will be dichotomized with 0 indicating "poor" and 1 indicating "healthy". Scores will range from 0-10 with 0 being the poorest and 10 being completely healthy sleep, a score \<7 will indicate "poor sleep health".
