💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The goal of this study is to test an adapted treatment for teen insomnia in comparison to a waitlist condition. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an intervention that was developed for adults and is sometimes also used for teens. Teens, parents, and health care providers helped to review and adapt CBT-I to form Teen CBT-I. Teen CBT-I includes most of the same content as CBT-I, with some changes to match teen biology and lifestyles.
The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are:
* Does Teen CBT-I improve insomnia symptoms in teens?
o Researchers will compare Teen CBT-I to the waitlist control condition to see if insomnia symptoms significantly improve in the treatment group.
* Do teens and their parents find Teen CBT-I to be acceptable? o Researchers will examine Teen CBT-I acceptability ratings.
Teen CBT-I is hypothesized to improve insomnia symptoms
