The Nogales Cardiometabolic Health and Sleep (NoCHeS) Study is funded by a grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health.
The goal of this study is to (1) get a better understanding of insufficient sleep, insomnia, and sleep apnea at the US-Mexico Border, (2) learn more about how social, behaviroal, and environmental factors in this community drive sleep attainment, (3) begin to disentangle the complex relationships among all of these social-environmental factors, sleep health, and risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and (4) figure out what the next steps will be in order to address this important health disparities issue. It will help drive forward our approaches to addressing Mexican-American health disparities as well as issues related to stress at the US-Mexico border.
