Although cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been established as the first-line recommendation millions of adults with chronic insomnia, there is a paucity trained clinicians to deliver this much needed treatment. Internet-delivered CBT-I shown promise method overcome obstacle; however, long-term effectiveness not proven in representative sample insomnia.To evaluate web-based, automated intervention improve short term (9 weeks) and long (1 year).A randomized clinical trial...
Abstract Objective : Insomnia is a common complaint among cancer survivors. Fortunately, cognitive‐behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT‐I) has been shown to be an effective treatment in this population. However, it rarely implemented given its limited availability. To address barrier, we examined the ability of easily accessible online CBT‐I program improve symptoms Methods Twenty‐eight survivors with were randomly assigned either Internet intervention ( n = 14) or waitlist control group...
Insomnia is two to three times more prevalent in cancer survivors than the general population, where it estimated be 10% 20%. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) recommended treatment chronic insomnia, but meeting survivor needs remains a challenge. Internet-delivered CBT-I (iCBT-I) has been shown efficacious otherwise healthy adults. We tested efficacy of iCBT-I breast with clinically significant sleep disturbance.

<h3>Importance</h3> Black women are at risk for insomnia disorder. Despite interest in addressing sleep health disparities, there is limited research investigating the efficacy of criterion-standard treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT-I]) among this racial minority population. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare a standard version an internet-delivered CBT-I program, culturally tailored version, and education control improving symptoms. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In...
The provision of health care over the Internet is a rapidly evolving and potentially beneficial means delivering treatment otherwise unsought or unobtainable. interventions are typically behavioral treatments operationalized transformed for Web delivery with goal symptom improvement. literature on feasibility utility limited, there even fewer outcome study findings. This article reviews empirically tested provides an overview issues in developing and/or using them clinical practice. Future...

Abstract Although the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is already administered online, this frequently used instrument has not been validated for Web delivery. This study compares online and paper-and-pencil ISI versions completed by participants in a randomized controlled trial testing an Internet-delivered intervention insomnia. Forty-three adults with insomnia both during pre- (Assessment 1) post-intervention 2). Correlations between total scores of were significant (rs ≥ .98, ps < .001)....
OBJECTIVE We developed a field procedure using personal digital assistant (PDA) technology to test the hypothesis that naturally occurring episodes of hypo- and hyperglycemia are associated with deterioration in cognitive function children type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total 61 aged 6–11 years diabetes received PDA programmed two brief tests (mental math choice reaction time), which they completed just before home glucose readings. The computer recorded time complete each...

Adolescent blood was also sampled for glycosylated hemoglobin...
In 2004, the International Society for Research on Internet Interventions (ISRII) was formed to encourage eHealth researchers collaborate in their efforts further science behind developing, testing, and disseminating Web-based treatment programs.The group held its second meeting (April 2006) clarify Society's direction identify key issues that need addressing field.These are identified examined current paper.Given success of using treat a range medical mental health problems, growing better...

Prevention of severe hypoglycemia (SH) is premised partially on the ability to accurately anticipate its occurrence. This study prospectively tests methods for predicting SH using blood glucose meter readings.One hundred adults with type 1 diabetes were followed 6 months, and 79 insulin-using 2 4 months. During this time, subjects' routine self-monitored (SMBG) readings stored retrieved from memory meters, participants queried biweekly about occurrence SH. Respective demographics two groups...
