Insomnia therapy and stress in Black adults with depression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of talk therapy for insomnia (called cognitive behavioral therapy) works differently for Black adults who also have symptoms of depression. The research looks at how stress from racism and poor sleep might affect treatment, so they can better help people who face these challenges.
