Using web-based CBT-I to improve sleep to prevent depression and anxiety in adolescents at high risk: a randomized controlled trial protocol
Overview
This paper outlines the protocol for a randomized controlled trial investigating whether web-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) can prevent depression and anxiety in high-risk adolescents with sleep problems. The study involves 50 participants assigned to either a seven-session web-based CBT-I program or a control group receiving psychoeducational materials. Outcomes include insomnia severity, sleep quality, and internalizing symptoms assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and three months later.
