Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigators propose a randomized controlled clinical trial in 250 women with a history of early stage breast cancer who are overweight or obese with insomnia to test whether a brief, cognitive-behavioral intervention for insomnia (CBT-I) prior to behavioral weight loss (CBT-I+BWL) is superior to a sleep education control (EDU) condition followed by behavioral weight loss (EDU+BWL). The investigators will measure outcomes at baseline, 8 weeks (after completing CBT-I or EDU and prior to BWL), and at 3, 6, and 12 months.

- label
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
- description
- The proposed intervention consists of 6 remotely-delivered sessions; Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8, with weeks 3 and 5 being "rest weeks". Session 1 will be 60-90 mins, Session 2 will be \~60 mins, and remaining visits are \~45 mins. The investigators propose a methodological innovation for CBT-I, which involves conducting 15-minute sessions every other month during the BWL intervention. Prior to these maintenance sessions, participants in the CBT-I+BWL group will complete electronic sleep diaries for one week and interventionists will use this information in sessions to sustain and enhance long-term outcomes by using MI to reinforce application of CBT-I session content.

- label
- Sleep Education Control (EDU)
- description
- The EDU intervention will parallel the CBT-I intervention in number, format and length of all sessions, including maintenance sessions. It provides basic information about sleep and cancer, widely available to the public. EDU content does not include any individualized behavioral instructions, sleep diary monitoring during the intervention, or behavior change counseling. Content is presented didactically only.
