Importance: Minoritized racial and ethnic groups are generally more likely to experience sleep deficiencies. It is unclear how these sleep duration disparities have changed over recent years. Objective: To determine 15–year trends in the racial and ethnic differences in self–reported sleep duration among adults in the US. Design: Serial cross–sectional study. Setting: National Health Interview Survey from years 2004–2018. Participants: 429,195 non–institutionalized adults. Exposures: Self–reported race, ethnicity, household income, and sex/gender. Main Outcomes: Temporal trends and racial/ethnic differences in short– and long–sleep duration (≤6 and ≥10 hours in a 24–hour period, respectively) and racial/ethnic differences in the relationship between sleep duration and age. Results: The study sample consisted of 429,195 individuals (mean age 46.5 [SE, 0.08] years; 51.7% female) of which 5.1% identified as Asian, 11.8% as Black, 14.7% as Latino/Hispanic, and 68.5% as White. In 2004, the adjusted estimated prevalence of short–sleep duration and long–sleep duration, respectively, were 31.3% and 2.5% among Asian individuals, 35.3% and 6.4% among Black individuals, 27.0% and 4.6% among Latino/Hispanic individuals, and 27.8% and 3.5% among White individuals. Over the study period, there was a significant increase in the short sleep prevalence among Black, Latino/Hispanic, and White individuals (P≤0.02 for each), whereas prevalence of long sleep changed significantly only among Latino/Hispanic individuals (–1.4 points, P=0.01). In 2018, compared with White individuals, short sleep prevalence among Black and Latino/Hispanic individuals was higher by 10.7 points and 2.6 points, respectively (P≤0.02 each), and long sleep prevalence among Black people was significantly higher by 1.4 points (P=0.01). These racial/ethnic disparities were the greatest among women and among those with middle/high household income. Over the study period, Black individuals younger than 60 years old had the highest prevalence of short sleep compared with those of the same age; and Black individuals had a higher long–sleep duration prevalence than White individuals across all age groups. Conclusions: From 2004 to 2018, the prevalence of unrecommended sleep duration was persistently higher among Black individuals. The Black–White disparities were highest among women, individuals who had middle or high income, and among young or middle–aged adults.

Abstract Introduction Sleep duration disparities by Hispanic/Latino heritage exist; however, few studies have additionally investigated sleep quality disparities by heritage and birthplace, nor have studies compared foreign-born to US-born Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). Methods Using pooled 2004-2017 National Health Interview Survey data, we investigated whether sleep disparities varied by birthplace among adult NHWs and Hispanic/Latino heritage groups. Adjusting for sociodemographic and behavioral/clinical characteristics, survey-weighted Poisson regressions with robust variance estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of self-reported sleep characteristics. Sleep characteristics were compared among foreign-born NHWs and Hispanic/Latino heritage groups vs. US-born NHWs. Sleep characteristics were also compared across Hispanic/Latino heritage groups vs. foreign-born NHWs. Results Among 254,699 participants (Meanage±SE: 47±0.9 years; 49% female), 81% self-identified as NHW (n=207,154), 12% Mexican (n=30,100), 2% Puerto Rican n=5,077), 1% Cuban(n=2,518), 1% Dominican (n=1,658), and 3% Central/South American (n=8,162). Compared to US-born NHWs, foreign-born NHWs were more likely to report >9-hours sleep duration (PR=1.11[95% CI: 1.01-1.21]) and poor sleep quality (e.g., PRtrouble staying asleep=1.27[1.17-1.37]), and US-born Mexicans were no more likely to report shorter sleep duration while foreign-born Mexicans were less likely (PR<6-hours=0.52[0.47-0.57], PR6-<7-hours=0.72[0.68-0.76]). Although US-born and foreign-born Mexicans had lower prevalence of poor sleep quality compared to US-born NHWs, PRs were lowest for foreign-born Mexicans. Compared to foreign-born NHWs, US-born Mexicans were more likely to report shorter sleep duration, but foreign-born Mexicans were no more likely. Regardless of birthplace, Puerto Ricans were more likely (e.g., PR<6-hours=1.37[1.24-1.60]) and Cubans were less likely (e.g., PR<6-hours=0.81[0.68-0.96]) to report shorter sleep duration vs. US-born NHWs. Compared to US-born NHWs, Dominicans reported better sleep duration and quality. Sleep duration and quality did not differ among Dominicans vs. foreign-born NHWs. Conclusion Sleep disparities varied by birthplace and Hispanic/Latino heritage. Birthplace of both NHWs and racial/ethnic minority groups should be considered in disparities research.

Adolescents with high educational expectations are more likely to enroll in college. Although most adolescents today report high educational expectations, there remains important racial/ethnic heterogeneity in college enrollment patterns. In particular, at every level of socioeconomic status, minority youth have higher educational expectations than their white peers yet enroll in college at lower rates. The rapidly increasing size and college enrollment of the Hispanic population motivate renewed examination of the expectation-enrollment relationship. Using data from the Education Longitudinal Study (ELS) and the High School Longitudinal Study (HSLS), the author examines whether the relationship between adolescent educational expectations and enrollment in a four-year college within two years of high school graduation differs by race/ethnicity and whether this relationship changed over time. The author finds that the expectation-enrollment relationship is positive for all students but is smaller for black and Hispanic students in the ELS cohort. However, by the HSLS cohort, the gaps have largely closed.
