In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Si-Jing Chen discusses her JCPP paper ‘Subtyping at-risk adolescents for predicting response toward insomnia prevention program’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13904). Si-Jing is the first author of the paper.
There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include:

• Insomnia prevalence and impact in adolescences.
• Insight into the brief cognitive-behavioural prevention insomnia programme.
• Why the cognitive-behavioural sleep intervention was predominantly more effective for anxiety than depression.
• Implications of findings for CAMH professionals, and how the findings can be translated into practice.

In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
