Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project aims to compare the effectiveness and implementation potential of two primary care friendly approaches to delivering an effective non-pharmacological intervention - cognitive behavioral therapy - for insomnia to middle aged and older adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All participants will receive cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, either through an online program or through visit with a therapist specializing in behavioral sleep medicine, and is some cases both. Participants will be randomized with equal probability to an ONLINE ONLY treatment arm or to a STEPPED CARE arm, whereby they will be assigned to on line or therapist-led treatment, based on their clinical presentation; but those assigned to this arm who start treatment with an online program and do not have sufficient response after 2 months will be switched over to a therapist-led treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ONLINE ONLY

Online cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

ONLINE ONLY

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Access to an online cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia

STEPPED CARE

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia online or therapist-led or sequentially both

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

STEPPED CARE

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A two step treatment that starts with either an online or therapist led cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, depending on a decision algorithm (checklist). Those with insufficient progress to the online treatment after 8 weeks are switched to a therapist-led treatment
