Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a group-based behavioral sleep intervention, and the incremental benefit provided by an adjunct sleep mobile app, on cannabis and sleep outcomes among cannabis dependent Veterans.


Clinical Trial Description

The Prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) has been steadily increasing within the Veteran Health Administration (VHA), along with the related significant physical, cognitive, and psychological sequelae. Even in patients with a strong motivation to quit and the presence of empirically-supported interventions, Veterans who receive treatment for CUD have high rates of lapse (63% by 6-months post-treatment) and relapse (71% within 6-months post-treatment). Thus, identifying strategies to improve response to CUD treatment is in the interest of all VHA stakeholders.

Disturbed sleep is common among individuals with CUD and has been shown to result in increased rates of lapse/relapse to cannabis. Providing a behavioral sleep intervention within the context of CUD treatment, and prior to a cessation attempt, has the potential to improve these cessation outcomes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a well-established first-line treatment for insomnia. While CBT-I is being disseminated throughout VHA, it is rarely received by Veterans with substance use disorders (SUDs) and, among those that do receive it, it is almost always delivered following a cessation attempt. While CBT-I has been shown to be an effective treatment for improving sleep among individuals with insomnia and co-occurring conditions, including SUDs, there has yet to be an investigation of the impact of providing CBT-I prior to CUD treatment with the goal of improving cessation outcomes. In addition, the development of an adjunct behavioral intervention delivered via mobile app technology within VA holds great promise to bolster outcomes.

The current study seeks to fill this gap by conducting a randomized prospective study designed to evaluate the efficacy of CBT-I, as well as the incremental benefit of including an adjunct sleep mobile app (CBT-I-MA), on both cannabis and sleep outcomes among Veterans with CUD. ;
