Overview
The Brief Telehealth CBT-I Intervention in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic study aims to determine if cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can prevent insomnia or improve mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Study Information
50 participants with sleep troubles who also have a history of depression and are at higher risk for severe COVID-19 will receive either immediate cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia or a waitlist of 7 months. The waitlist group will receive CBT 7 months after being assigned to their category.
At baseline, quality of life, sleep disruption, suicidal ideation and neuropsychiatric symptoms will be recorded and a second time at the end of the study, by online surveys and clinical interviews. The same parameters will be assessed at subsequent follow-up appointments at 3, 7, and 13 months. Anxiety and depression and sleep disturbance will be recorded at the end of every week to determine weekly changes.
