“…In this context, universal prevention campaigns are warranted to reduce interpersonal violence and foster positive relationships within families, but also within communities. For girls suffering from sleep problems following a traumatic event, it may be relevant to combine elements of sleep-focused and trauma-focused interventions (e.g., Cognitive-behavioral therapy for Insomnia) into treatment planning (Isaac et al, 2022). Such interventions could foster the resilience of youth given that good sleep is related to emotion regulation and adaptive functioning.…”

“…[27][28][29][30][31] Conversely, evidenced-based psychological treatments for insomnia, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), effectively improve sleep quality and, in turn, reduce psychopathology. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Thus, insomnia is now classified as a disorder in its own right, [42][43][44] with clinical practice guidelines worldwide recommending CBT-I as first-line treatment. [45][46][47][48][49][50] Despite these updates to practice guidelines, CBT-I has yet to be translated into routine mental healthcare.…”

Study objectives: Despite the negative impact of poor sleep on mental health, evidence-based insomnia management guidelines have not been translated into routine mental healthcare. Here, we evaluate a state-wide knowledge translation effort to disseminate sleep and insomnia education to graduate psychology programs online using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance evaluation framework. Methods: Using a non-randomized waitlist control design, graduate psychology students attended a validated six-hour online sleep education workshop delivered as part of their graduate psychology program in Victoria, Australia. Sleep knowledge, attitudes, and practice assessments were conducted pre- and post-program, with long-term feedback collected at 12 months. Results: Seven out of ten graduate psychology programs adopted the workshop (adoption rate = 70%). The workshop reached 313 graduate students, with a research participation rate of 81%. The workshop was effective at improving students sleep knowledge and self-efficacy to manage sleep disturbances using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), compared to the waitlist control with medium-to-large effect sizes (all p <.001). Implementation feedback was positive, with 96% of students rating the workshop as very good-to-excellent. Twelve-month maintenance data demonstrated that 83% of students had used the sleep knowledge/skills learned in the workshop in their clinical practice. However, more practical training is required to achieve CBT-I competency. Conclusion: Online sleep education workshops can be scaled to deliver cost-effective foundational sleep training to graduate psychology students. This workshop will accelerate the translation of insomnia management guidelines into psychology practice to improve sleep and mental health outcomes nationwide.
