NCT ID NCT07445529
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether racism-related stress affects how well a digital cognitive behavioral therapy program (Sleepio) works for insomnia in Black adults. One hundred participants will use the app for 6-10 weeks while researchers track their sleep and stress levels. The goal is to see if those with short sleep benefit less and whether stress plays a role.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that digital CBT for insomnia works well for Black adults, even when they face racism-related stress.
