Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to develop a questionnaire that can be used for standardized patient information gathering in the clinical setting. This will serve as the information source for a pediatric sleep database.
Detailed description
A sleep questionnaire will be administered to patients who present to the Pediatric Neurology Clinic and the Pediatric Sleep Clinic in the DCAM as well as LaRabida Children's Hospital complaining of sleep problems. The questions asked are those routinely obtained in clinical practice of sleep medicine. Medical students, residents and faculty as part of their normal clinical responsibilities will administer the questionnaire. The database will be maintained in Filemaker Pro program for future research purposes. Collection of the data will require approximately 15 minutes. A database file number not related to the patient medical record number will be assigned to each patient. The investigator will keep a separate log linking patient database number and patient medical record number. The logbook will be kept under lock and key by the investigator.
