Summary

This study tested whether adding a virtual coach (phone support) helps veterans with insomnia use a digital cognitive behavioral therapy program for sleep. 244 veterans were randomly assigned to either the digital program with coaching or with minimal contact. The goal was to see if coaching improves sleep quality and program engagement.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual coaching (telephone support for digital CBTi)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding a coach to a digital sleep program helps veterans sleep better and stick with the program.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 244 veterans, but results may not apply to everyone. Coaching may not improve sleep more than the digital program alone.
