Housing and neighbourhood determinants of inadequate sleep
Project Details
Approximately 40% of Australians experience inadequate sleep, causing significant economic burden through lost productivity and wellbeing. This interdisciplinary project will develop rich conceptual models of the determinants of sleep, and leverage existing data to generate new evidence to advance our understanding of how residential contexts affect sleep and inequalities in sleep. Expected outcomes include a new conceptual model, and enhanced capacity and networks to drive future research in this emerging field. The evidence produced should inform practical change to reduce societal and individual costs of inadequate sleep.
