Texas High School Start Time Study

I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Julie Maslowsky yesterday. Julie is an Assistant Professor of Health Behavior & Health Education in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at the University of Texas. I had previously contacted Dr. Maslowsky after her recent study (see below) identifying the decrease in adolescent sleep over the last 20 years. Dr. Maslowsky has decided to conduct a state-wide research study of Texas high school start times and their impact on adolescent health! The study could have a tremendous impact on districts with unhealthy school hours across the state. I am thrilled to be asked to serve as a resource for the study.
