What this trial studies

This interventional study aims to enhance access to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) through a stepped care model in Hong Kong. It will involve a multicenter, assessor-blinded, pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial across 18 districts, where the intervention will be rolled out in phases. Participants will receive follow-up assessments to evaluate the effectiveness and long-term benefits of the CBT-I intervention. The study seeks to address the barriers to accessing CBT-I, such as limited availability of trained therapists and geographical constraints.
