Computerized Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia: Improving Rural Veteran Access to Evidence-Based Treatment to Reduce Suicide Risk (R-Vets Sleep)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Insomnia, Mental Health Functioning, Physical Health Functioning
In brief
Insomnia is a major problem among veteran populations. Insomnia impacts physical and mental health functioning and is associated with reduced quality of life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most promising treatments for insomnia; however, access to CBT-I is severely limited by a lack of trained clinicians within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). There is a critical need to offer innovative approaches to meet the demand and need for insomnia treatment. Leveraging technology to meet treatment demands is consistent with service delivery models based upon stepped care principles. This randomized controlled trial will determine whether a computerized, self-guided, web-based version of CBT-I is efficacious in reducing insomnia symptoms and improving functioning compared to a computerized program control.
