This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop, refine, and preliminarily test a novel, integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Opioid Use Disorder (CBT-IO) intervention. The $659,813 award will be used by Virginia Commonwealth University to tailor the CBT-I content and delivery to address the specific biopsychosocial needs of individuals with comorbid insomnia and opioid use disorder (OUD), including adaptations for telehealth delivery. The project will incorporate a health equity approach and involve a community-based expert panel review, as well as patient pre-testing to evaluate the intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and engagement. The study will then examine the preliminary effects of the refined CBT-IO intervention on both sleep and substance use outcomes in a diverse sample of 56 adults with comorbid insomnia and OUD. This work aims to inform larger-scale studies on effective methods for treating insomnia and OUD, particularly in at-risk populations.
