Summary

This study tests whether short behavioral therapy sessions can improve sleep and reduce alcohol and cannabis use in young adults aged 18-29 who struggle with insomnia and heavy drinking or marijuana use. Researchers will enroll 800 participants in Washington State and compare those who receive the brief therapy to those who don't. The goal is to see if these low-cost, non-drug interventions can help young people get better rest and cut back on substance use.
