“…Although Russia remains the largest country in the world by area with a population exceeding 144 million, the proposed study will be the first trial of online CBT-I, which makes it even more important. Due to unique aspects of culture, history, and different psychology traditions, CBT-I remains unknown and unavailable to the majority of Russian patients ( 46 ). Practice shows that general practitioners and medical doctors commonly lack time and knowledge about CBT-I.…”

Background: Internet-delivered cognitive-behavior treatment for insomnia (iCBT-I) has the potential to fill the gap created by the discrepancy between insomnia cases and number of trained professionals. Although the effectiveness of this method was proven in multiple studies conducted in research settings, its feasibility in routine care is still unclear. Predictors, mediators, and moderators of treatment effect remain uncertain since previous studies often give contradictory results. The present study aims to investigate clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an internet-based CBT-I program Sleepsy in comparison with care as usual (CAU) among patients with CI recruited from clinical settings. Baseline data will be further analyzed to find predictors of treatment outcome. Methods/Design: The proposed study is a parallel-group randomized controlled trial comparing CAU plus iCBT-I with CAU in a clinical setting. One hundred ten participants will be referred from the medical doctors in Moscow. Both groups will have access to CAU, which corresponds to the treatment prescribed by the referring doctor. Patients of the first group will additionally get access to the iCBT-I program with the opportunity to contact a specialist (guidance on request) in a secured environment. The primary outcome is insomnia severity change from pre-to post-treatment. Secondary outcomes include change of subjective sleep characteristics, life quality, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, comorbid affective disorders, dysfunctional beliefs about sleep, sleep hygiene, healthcare consumption, productivity losses, and longer term outcomes at 3 months follow-up. Predictor analysis will include baseline scores of the aforementioned outcomes along with treatment expectancies and personality traits. Discussion: The proposed study is one of the first studies evaluating whether iCBT-I also works in routine care. We expect that recruitment of the participants let us determine the target group more precisely and exclude health problems interfering with treatment. Using CAU as control condition may result in a loss of power to detect a meaningful difference.

“…Abstracts appearing on only one research team member's spreadsheet were reviewed by both research team members to determine whether or not they focused on addiction counseling and/or counselor educator professional development related to addiction counseling. For example, two JCD articles identified with the keywords substance abuse were not included because they focused on the development of the counseling profession in two countries other than the United States and identified substance abuse as a core issue in those countries (Currie, Kuzmina, & Nadyuk, ; Palmer, Palmer, & Payne‐Borden, ). The research team members determined that these articles did not constitute addiction‐related professional development opportunities for counselor educators.…”

“…Alcoholism and alcohol abuse/neglect are the two most common reasons for children being placed in the child welfare system in Russia. Two-thirds of the estimated 700,000 social orphans in Russia today are removed from their families for these reasons (Achmatova, 2010; Currie et al, 2012).…”

“…Consuming vodka at family and other social gatherings is typical and the government has restricted the wine and beer industries to promote vodka as the national alcoholic beverage. Russia's vodka sales increased almost 70 percent between 1990 and 2003, and hard liquor consumption in Russia is estimated to be the highest in the world (Currie et al, 2012). A correlation between alcoholism and women is related to child-bearing and child-rearing problems; two-thirds of respondents in one study reported a high rate of drinking among pregnant women (Kristjanson, 2007).…”

Russian social services and the social work profession have experienced dramatic growth since the 1990s due to numerous political, societal, and economic changes. This article discusses gender violence and discrimination against women, perhaps the most pressing problem confronting Russia today. The authors conduct a literature review and describe a collaborative engagement between a social work graduate education program in Russia (Vologda) and the United States (Texas) that involved curriculum development, classroom teaching, professional training, and agency consultation. It recommends policy, practice, and research needed to continue improving social services for Russian women, their families, and the community that also informs social work practice in the United States, with particular emphasis on domestic violence. KeywordsAlcoholism, domestic violence, gender discrimination, gender violence Women in Russia have experienced gender violence and discrimination historically, yet there are dramatic changes currently occurring in the political and social responses to these problems that offer unique opportunities for social workers to improve services for women. The extent of gender violence and other types of discrimination against women and the current needs and obstacles for Russian social service and legal systems can be better understood through knowledge of the historical and cultural contexts of these problems. The Soviet Union failed to respond to the problems of domestic violence and did not provide services or shelters for victims, and since Perestroika,
