NCT ID: NCT00511134

Last Updated: 2022-05-09

Results Overview

Insomnia Severity Index (ISI): 13-item self-report measure which examines symptoms of insomnia, consequences of insomnia, and subjective distress related to sleep problems. Subjects rate the symptoms and consequences of insomnia on a 5 point Likert scales. For example, subjects are asked to rate the severity of their insomnia (e.g., difficulty falling asleep from 0=none to 4=very severe). Scores on the first 7 items are summed for a total insomnia score ranging from 0-28.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from the Greater New Haven area and surrounding communities through targeted television, radio, and newspaper ads, fliers, and referrals from clinicians. Recruitment occurred between July of 2007 and October of 2008. Approximately 900 phone screens and 12 in-person screens were completed during the course of the study.

Major reasons for exclusion at phone screen were report of no sleep problems, use of illegal substances, psychiatric or medical exclusions, and low smoking. Major reasons for exclusion during the in-person screening process included withdrawal of informed consent, alcohol or illicit drug use, and low smoking.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks after target smoking quit date

Population: Baseline descriptive data was examined for the 4 participants. Outcome measures were available for 2 participants. Due to the small number of participants, statistical comparisons were not able to be performed.
