Participant Flow

Four (4) VA Medical Centers (VAMC) were enrolled in this project. Within each VAMC, we identified Veterans (Participants) who engaged in care within PCMHI clinics. Veterans' data was collected retrospectively starting from January 1, 2020 until July 31, 2024. PCMHI providers (Staff) at each site were also consented for feedback and intervention fidelity ratings. 277,920 unique Veteran Participants and Staff were enrolled across all phases; however, enrollment differs at each phase.

Staff did not participate in the Pre-Training phase. Data collection for a site could have ranged from 36 to 54 months (including phases 1-4; excluding the 1-month BBTI training period January 1, 2021 - January 31, 2021).

Minneapolis VAMC
All sites underwent a 12-month pre-training period (phase 1) before undergoing training (month 0) for BBTI. Then sites were randomized to 0, 6, 12, or 18 months of the Pre-Implementation (phase 2), followed by 12 months of Implementation (phase 3, ERIC strategies were accessible and supported during this phase), and 12 months of Post-Implementation monitoring (phase 4). \*This site was assigned to: Pre-Training, then Implementation (Month 1-12), then Post-Implementation (Month 13-24). Note, this site was randomized to skip Pre-Implementation (phase 2).

Timeframe: 42 months; during the pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation phases. Time from BBTI first session to BBTI last session varies, but can range 1-13 weeks.

Population: This is the intent to treat (ITT) analysis and all ISI data are included from participants who initiated BBTI. Results provided for all sites combined and individual sites. Data at the participant-level (Veterans in PCMHI), with data extracted from BBTI progress notes in the electronic health records, retrospectively.

Change on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI; 0-28, low scores indicate lower severity) from the initial score obtained (e.g., PCMHI initial evaluation, BBTI session 1) to the final score documented in medical records. Data aggregated across phases (averaged) for first session and last session.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 42 months; the BBTI-CRS was administered during pre-implementation (up to 3 times), implementation (1 time, at the end), and post-implementation (1 time, at the end)

Population: PCMHI providers (Staff) trained in BBTI who consented to participate in the competency ratings. Not all Staff completed ratings at all phases and there was no plan to compare between sites. Only descriptive statistics (Mean/Standard Deviation) reported.

Mean Competency Rating Score (0-36, higher scores indicate higher competency, \>17 indicates competency) PCMHI providers (Staff) were measured via mock treatment sessions by site PIs/subject matter experts using the BBTI-Competency Rating Scale (BBTI-CRS) during the pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation phases. Overall refers to aggregate ratings (averaged) from all phases in which BBTI-CRS was delivered - providers could complete up to 5 ratings (up to 3 for pre-implementation, 1 for implementation, and 1 for post-implementation).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 42 months; qualitative interviews took place at the end of the pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation phases.

Population: 16 Staff participants were engaged in CFIR interviews with 3 study team members coding the interviews and conducting strength and valence ratings. Strength (0, 1, 2) and valence (- / +) ratings help to determine how helpful or harmful an identified CFIR determinant is for implementation of BBTI.

Strength and valence rating for identified barriers and facilitators (determinants) from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) qualitative interviews. CFIR determinants, identified through qualitative interviews with PCMHI providers, were rated on strength (0, 1, 2; higher numbers indicate stronger influence) and valence (- indicates negative/harmful influence; + indicates positive/helpful influence) to determine how helpful or harmful an identified CFIR determinant is for implementing BBTI in PCMHI. Ratings were aggregated across sites and phases (consensus by 3 raters with adjudication by PI as needed).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months: 4 times - every 3-months during the Implementation phase.

Population: This measure was abandoned during the study, early on with no data collected, since much of the data intended to be collected through this survey could be captured/collected as part of the CFIR interviews and ratings (Outcome #8).

Indication of implementation strategy utilization (yes/no) and rating of its importance (1 = not at all important, 5 = very important) and feasibility ((1 = not at all feasible, 5 = very feasible).
