Insomnia treatment effects among young adult drinkers: Secondary outcomes of a randomized pilot trial

Abstract

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT‐I) has moderate‐to‐large effects on insomnia among young adult drinkers, with preliminary data indicating that improvements in insomnia may have downstream effects on alcohol‐related consequences. However, the mechanism(s) by which insomnia treatment may facilitate reductions in alcohol‐related problems is unclear. Secondary outcome data from a randomized pilot trial were used to examine CBT‐I effects on four proposed mediators of the insomnia/alcohol link: alcohol craving, delay discounting, negative affect, and difficulties with emotion regulation.
