Dwarf galaxies are unique laboratories for studying the process of star formation in metal-poor environments. The comprehensive data of the LITTLE THINGS project provide an excellent tool to probe the relation between star formation and the interstellar media of these systems. By analyzing HI velocity dispersions for Gaussian (and modified Gaussian) profiles, we can separate the cold neutral medium (CNM) and warm neutral medium (WNM) phases of the ISM. From that, we can determine which areas and conditions are more favorable for star formation. Comparison with data from other wavelengths such as H-alpha, UV, and FIR will test the predictions of the HI line profile analysis.
