Arm Label

Culturally adapted digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) (Somryst)

Minimally Enhanced Usual Care (mEUC)

Arm Description

Somryst is an FDA-authorized digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) program that has been translated and culturally adapted for Spanish speakers. Group will have access to this culturally-adapted Somryst, along with the usual care provided by their primary care provider, and will be provided a sleep hygiene brochure during group assignment.

Usual care by their primary care provider and a sleep hygiene brochure. Group will continue their typical standard care with their primary care provider, which may include pharmacotherapy. In addition, we will provide a sleep hygiene brochure during group assignment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in mean insomnia severity index score (ISI)
ISI is a 7-item self-report scale measuring insomnia symptom severity in the last 2 weeks; summed score ranges 0-28, increasing score associated with increasing severity.
Change in mean insomnia severity index score (ISI)
ISI is a 7-item self-report scale measuring insomnia symptom severity in the last 2 weeks; summed score ranges 0-28, increasing score associated with increasing severity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in mean quality of life score (Short-Form 12 [SF-12])
Short Form (SF)-12 is a 12-item self-report inventory that generically measures quality of life; yields a measure of global health-related wellbeing as 8 domain-specific subscores on a 0-100 scale, increasing score reflects less dysfunction, impairment, or pain.
Change in mean daytime sleepiness- Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
ESS is an 8-item brief self-report scale of daytime sleepiness; summed scores range 0-24, where increasing scores constitute greater sleepiness, and a score > 11 represents elevated daytime sleepiness.
Change in mean Satisfaction with Care Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC)
PACIC is a 20-item scale containing 5 subscales, adapted for this trial to measure respondents' receipt of services in regards to insomnia in the past 6 months, 5-point scale, range of 20-100 with increasing score reflecting greater satisfaction with care)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the proposed study is to examine the effectiveness of a culturally adapted digital program of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) compared to minimally enhanced usual care (mEUC) on primary outcomes: reduction in insomnia symptoms at 9 weeks and 6 months post-intervention, using a standard scale among Spanish-Speaking Latina/o adults with chronic insomnia.
Detailed Description
Chronic insomnia is associated with significant public health burden and most adults seek care for insomnia in the primary care setting. While Latina/os are at greater risk for insomnia than non-Hispanic Whites, access to the recommended first-line of treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, is limited especially for Spanish-speakers. Recent advances in health information technology such as self-guided digital health treatments represent an innovative and scalable means to address the supply and demand imbalance that perpetuate mental health care disparities, however its implementation in underserved communities remains elusive. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a culturally adapted digital version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia with minimally enhanced usual care on reduction of insomnia symptoms among Spanish-speaking Latina/os adults with chronic insomnia. The study will also examine barriers and facilitators to implementation, and examine cost-effectiveness of the intervention.

Intervention Name(s)
Digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) program
Intervention Description
A self-guided digital program of CBT-I (Somryst) that has been culturally adapted for Spanish-language speakers.
