Participate in Research

The Sleepwell Team at Dalhousie University is conducting a study to explore how adults with insomnia and their clinicians use two new self-directed sleep resources. The findings will help us understand how these resources support people with insomnia and what changes may be needed to improve them.

WHO can take part?

There are 3 groups of participants invited to join this study:

1. Adults aged 18 years and older experiencing insomnia.
2. People assigned female at birth aged 45-60 years of age experiencing insomnia and menopausal symptoms.
3. Health care providers involved in the care of patients with insomnia, such as family physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and social workers.

Other eligibility criteria apply.

WHAT is being studied?

Two printed, self-directed behavioural sleep interventions:

• 
  Full Sleep Support (FSS) workbook, a structured, 8-week CBT-I program
• 
  Brief Sleep Support (BSS) booklet, focused on key behavioural sleep strategies

WHAT will you be asked to do (after confirming eligibility and providing consent)?

PATIENT PARTICIPANTS: You will begin by selecting one of the two resources, using it, and providing your feedback on it. You will be asked about your sleep, health, medications, and your thoughts about the resource.

CLINICIAN PARTICIPANTS: You will receive printed copies of both resources to share with your patients and complete an online survey about your experience.
