Digital Mood-enhanced CBT-I to Improve Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents
Sponsor: Chinese University of Hong Kong
Summary
Emerging encouraging evidence showed that sleep focused treatment can simultaneously improve sleep and depression in adult with comorbid conditions. Although these favorable changes in depressed adults is encouraging, little is known in the potential efficacy of CBT-I in altering depression trajectory in adolescent population. This current study aims to compare the effect of digitally delivered, mood enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (M-dCBT-I) and standard digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) in improving depressive symptoms in adolescents, and to examine the potential sustained treatment effect in mood outcomes following M-dCBT-I or dCBT-I treatment.

Interventions
Standard dCBT-I
This standard digital CBT-I intervention will cover (1) psycho-education about sleep, circadian and sleep hygiene education, (2) stimulus control, (3) sleep restriction, (4) relaxation techniques, (5) structured worry time, (6) cognitive restructuring (targeting sleep-related dysfunctional cognitions), and (7) relapse prevention. In order to have comparable dosage as modified CBT-I, the treatment will be dispersed to 8 modules (8-week) which is still in the range of standard CBT-I duration (usually last for 6-8weeks).
Modified Mood enhanced CBT-I (M-dCBT-I)
Additional depression specific components will be added to the standard CBT-I, including behavioral activation and problem solving.
