Free digital insomnia treatment study in Australian general practice


Flinders’ University are coordinating a research study in Australian general practice, to offer GP access to a free digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) referral pathway. The digital CBTi program is a free interactive 5-session program, whereby GPs are provided with a follow-up report for each patient at 8-weeks, 16-weeks and 24-weeks. 190 GPs around Australia are already participating and have referred ~600 patients.

The program leads to large and sustained improvements in symptoms of; Approximately 80% of patients complete the full 5-week program, and 99% of patients would recommend it to a family member or friend.
 
The skills I have learned over the last 4 weeks have transformed my life. I can't believe I am sleeping so much better without the need for benzos.
