Kia ora! My name is Emily Minchin, and I am completing my Doctorate of Clinical Psychology as part of the Pride Lab and the Sleep/Wake Research Centre. My research titled: Supporting Adolescent Mental Health Through Sleep: What Do Adolescents Have to Say?, explores how adolescents aged 16 to 18 from diverse backgrounds in Aotearoa perceive, experience, and make sense of sleep, as well as the types of sleep support they find helpful or unhelpful. I was lucky enough to recruit forty adolescents (55% Māori, 27.5% New Zealand European, 12.5% Asian, 5% Pacific Peoples) from a socio-demographically diverse high school in the Wellington region and conducted ten semi-structured focus groups. I am analysing the data using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Overall, my study aims to inform the development of a tailored, adolescent-centred sleep promotion intervention that is feasible, culturally responsive, contextually relevant, and acceptable for this population
