GroupInterventionDescription
CBT-I online groupCognitive Behavioral Therapy for InsomniaTwelve eligible participants will meet weekly for 6 weeks while undergoing the CBT-I program. At the end of each weekly session, participants will complete a survey reviewing the acceptability of undergoing insomnia treatment in an internet-based small-group setting.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Attendance6 weeks

Main feasibility metric, recorded as number of sessions successfully attended. Participants would need to attend at least 4 sessions of the CBT-I sessions. Therefore, attendance among all participants must be 67% or greater to be considered feasible. A session must be attended for at least 50% of the time or will be counted as missed.

Acceptability24 weeks

A three-question survey at the end of each session. Question 1 is yes/no, questions 2 and 3 are write in. At the end of the program, a longer acceptability survey will be conducted. If a participant's response to question 1 indicates acceptability for a given session, that session will be deemed 'acceptable'. If 50% or more of participants rated the session as acceptable, then that session will be rated as acceptable.
