Key Points Question Is disturbed sleep associated with depression in children and youths? Findings In this meta-analysis of 16 studies including 27 073 patients, pooled estimates supported the role of disturbed sleep as a risk factor for depression in children and youths. Effect size estimates were small but statistically significant. Meaning This study suggests that disturbed sleep is a component of the multifaceted risk profile of depression and should be included in prevention programs as early as childhood.
