Health equity in sleep: #WorldSleepDay

We know that Indigenous health inequities are unacceptable, and that the status quo can’t continue, but what do we know about inequities in sleep health for Indigenous populations? In this talk we will define health disparities and frameworks to understand them, identify sleep inequity and its determinants and identify current trends and opportunities for future research and resources.
