What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a tailored cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention to help individuals with hazardous alcohol use who also suffer from insomnia. The approach involves a telephone-delivered, four-session program designed to improve sleep quality, which is crucial for recovery from alcohol use disorder. The study will start with a pilot phase to refine the intervention and will then compare its effectiveness against a control group receiving education on sleep and alcohol. This iterative process aims to ensure the intervention is practical and effective for those in need.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults over 21 who experience both hazardous alcohol use and insomnia.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have issues with alcohol use or insomnia may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved sleep and recovery outcomes for individuals struggling with alcohol use disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy can be effective for treating insomnia, suggesting potential success for this adapted approach.
