Summary

This trial is studying whether a combination of therapies can help reduce symptoms of insomnia and depression in adults.

Who is the study for?
The TIDE trial is for rural, African-American adults over 50 with both insomnia and depression. They must not be in current psychological treatment, have a stable mental status (MMSE score ≥24 or ≥17 if education ended at eighth grade), and can't be at serious risk of suicide. Participants need a referral from their primary care doctor within the Black Belt region.
What is being tested?
This study tests integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) delivered via videoconferencing to treat insomnia and depression together, compared to usual care alone. It aims to see if this approach is feasible in rural settings and whether it improves sleep quality, mood, and life satisfaction more effectively than standard treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Since CBT is a non-medical therapy involving talking and behavior change strategies without drugs, side effects are minimal but may include temporary increases in distress as difficult topics are discussed or changes in sleep patterns as new habits form.
