How this fits in

The primary care physician is the health professional most likely to be consulted by a patient with insomnia. Although cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended first-line treatment, reviews of its effectiveness in the primary care setting are lacking. This review provides evidence that multicomponent CBT-I (group or individual) is effective at improving sleep outcomes for primary care patients with chronic insomnia.
