In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The investigators will answer the question of whether treating insomnia using the mobile-app-based intervention of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for cancer survivors ("iCANSleep") can improve symptoms of insomnia in Canadian cancer survivors compared to a waitlist control group. The investigators will recruit 146 people with insomnia who have completed cancer treatment at least 3 months prior to the study.
