Interventions

  • Diagnostic testBeck Depression Inventory-II, Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire-Revised, Background data sheet

    Maternal depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory, Second Edition (BDI-II; Beck, 1961/2000). Toddler sleep was assessed with the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire-Revised (BISQ-R, Sadeh, 2004). Four sleep indicators were used: severity of sleep problems, sleep latency, number of night awakenings, and nighttime sleep duration. Two sleep parenting practices were measured: sleep location and consistency of bedtime routines. Background information was collected using a self-designed questionnaire.
