Sleep Treatment for Teens (RCT Phase) for Sleep Problems and Suicidal Thoughts
This study is testing a mobile app called Sleepio, which uses digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (dCBT-I), against usual care. It aims to see if Sleepio can help teenagers aged 14-18 who have sleep problems and have recently been hospitalized due to suicide risk. Researchers want to find out if improving sleep can reduce suicidal thoughts. The study will measure how severe insomnia is and how often suicidal thoughts occur over a period of up to 12 weeks. The study plans to enroll 80 participants and its current status is unclear.
