SHUTi MIND: Internet-Delivered Therapy for Insomnia and Cognitive Health

This study is looking at how an internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) called SHUTi OASIS might help older adults (65 years and older) who have both insomnia and mild cognitive impairment. You would be compared to a group receiving patient education about insomnia. The researchers want to see if SHUTi OASIS can improve your sleep and also help with your memory, attention, and other thinking skills. To join, you need to be at least 65, speak and read English, live in the US, and have internet access. The study aims to enroll 144 participants. The main goal is to see if insomnia severity improves over 24 months.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial involving 144 participants. You would be assigned by chance to either the SHUTi OASIS program or an educational website.
What's involved
You would complete online cognitive tests, questionnaires, and sleep diaries before starting, and again at 9 weeks. You would also have access to your assigned online program for the duration of the study.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your insomnia severity will be measured at 9 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months after starting the study.
