iCANSleep Study
There is a exciting new study involving cancer survivors that is being conducted in Dr. Sheila Garland’s Sleep, Health, and Wellness Lab at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). The purpose of our study is to examine the efficacy of smartphone-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in improving sleep among cancer survivors. We are recruiting cancer survivors across Canada who have problems with sleep and who have either 1. completed active cancer treatment at least three months ago, or 2. who have been considered clinically stable for at least three months.
Interested individuals can email icansleepapp@gmail.com for more information or to determine if they are eligible.
