More evidence for the impact of sleep on symptoms in pediatric patients with DGBIs.
Congrats to our team on this fun collaboration!
@SusanTranPhD
Bedree et al examined the impact of sleep disturbance in kids with #DGBI:
😴 sleep quality associated with somatic sensations
😴 depressive symptoms mediate relationship between sleep disturbance and pain

New paper in @JPGNonline! Low sleep quality has a direct association with greater pain intensity in youth with DGBIs.
And depressive mood mediates the relation between sleep and fatigue, nausea.
Assessing and treating sleep is important!
Proud to be in the company of some stellar pediatric digital health researchers!
Had a successful SIG meet-up at this morning’s poster session! Stay tuned for more #digitalhealth updates and collaboration opportunities..! #SPPAC2023

Thank you @APA … if we start to think this all gets better once covid is over we miss such an opportunity to revolutionize the care we provide and correct our inequities of care… what an opportunity before us ..

We stand with the AAP and APA on the urgent need to address gun violence. Inequities, stigma, misinformation, & policy gaps all contribute to this public health crisis. Too often, the impact on caregivers of medically complex children is overlooked. So where can we start? (1/4)
Because of gun violence, too many children have missed too many moments. Let’s not miss ours. #EndGunViolence

Feeling the need to clarify a few things:
1. People with serious mental illness are more likely to be victims than to be perpetrators.
2. SSRIs don't cause people to murder other people.
3. Stop stigmatizing mental health to justify ignoring the evidence: Guns ARE the problem.
Thanks for checking out our research on patient and clinician stakeholder preferences for a #DigitalHealth mindfulness program for adolescents! #SPPAC #thisispedpsych
