Summary

This study tests whether a type of talking therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) can improve sleep and reduce mental distress in young people aged 12-24 in Hong Kong who have moderate mental health concerns. Participants will attend six weekly group sessions led by trained youth workers. The study will compare their sleep quality and mental health to a group that receives the therapy later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide an effective, non-drug way to improve sleep and reduce mental distress in young people.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention, not a medication, so results depend on participant engagement. The trial is not yet recruiting and has a short follow-up, so long-term benefits are unknown.
