In adolescents, low sleep duration is associated with psychiatric disorders, cognitive problems (Cheng et al., 2020), and diminished academic performance (Eliasson et al., 2002). This is particularly problematic for racial and ethnic minority adolescents, who are at increased risk of low sleep duration (Singh et al., 2013). While adolescent racial and ethnic low sleep duration has been linked to socioeconomic status (Gugllelmo et al., 2018), physical activity in girls (Bates et al., 2016), and school engagement (Dunbar, Mirpuri, & Yip, 2017), all four factors have not yet been explored together. The current study aims to understand the physiological impact of stress on sleep, which in turn is expected to impact behavior and development differentially by race and ethnicity. The present study will include participants from the National Institute of Health Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. Resting-state neuroimaging data will be used to explore differences in intrinsic connectivity. The results of the current study have the potential to bring to light protective factors: factors that reduce the effects of stress on sleep.
