Summary of CBT-I Delivery Methods and Accessibility
Delivery Methods | Description | Accessibility |
---|---|---|
In-person | Delivered using individual or group format with a behaviorial sleep medicine provider (see behaviorsleep.org for a list of providers). | Limited access because of the limited number of BSM providers. |
Telehealth | Individual sessions delivered through phone or video with a qualified BSM provider. | Improved access due to reduced need to travel but still requires a BSM provider to deliver treatment. |
Digital | Automated, digital programs that can be accessed using the internet. Examples include the Path to Better Sleep (www.veterantraining.va.gov/insomnia) or Somryst (https://somryst.com/) | Most accessible because no BSM provider is needed. However, might require resources and technological skills to access. |
BSM = behavioral sleep medicine.
