While evidence supports the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), uptake of evidence-based interventions in mental health care for children and adolescents is low. Internet delivery can improve access, but research on implementing internet-based CBT (iCBT) in routine care is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate if iCBT for insomnia (iCBT-I) could be successfully implemented at two child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) clinics.\n\nThe implementation followed Aaron, Hurlburt & Horwitz' stage model (2011) encompassing four phases: exploration, preparation, implementation and sustainment. It engaged ninety percent of the outpatient units across the clinics and involved seventeen therapists who completed a three-day training. Patients aged 13-17 years with insomnia alongside other psychiatric conditions were recruited for the intervention.\n\nResults showed a high degree of acceptability of iCBT-I among managers and staff, and a moderate to high degree of acceptability among patients. The fifteen patients treated showed significant reductions in insomnia and depression symptoms. However, there were important threats to feasibility including low prioritisation of iCBT-I, difficulties in recruiting patient and getting them to start the treatment, technical problems, and staff turnover, all of which led to failed implementation in these settings.\n\niCBT-I could not be successfully implemented at either of the two CAP clinics investigated in this study due to problems with feasibility and sustainability.", "doi": "10.1016/j.psychres.2025.116815", "pmid": "41202790", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "S0165-1781(25)00460-3"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T15:52:27.347Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T15:52:27.376Z"}
