Summary

This completed VA study tested two ways to help more veterans with chronic insomnia get brief behavioral treatment (BBTI) in primary care clinics. Over 277,000 veterans were included across four VA medical centers. The study compared training providers alone versus training plus extra support to see which approach led to more veterans receiving BBTI and improving their sleep.

What this could lead to
