Barriers and Facilitators to the Implementation and Dissemination of Evidence-Based Insomnia Interventions

Persistent disturbances in sleep onset or continuity affect large segments of the population, but evidence‑based treatments remain insufficiently accessed. Evidence based insomnia interventions such as CBT-I continue to face adoption challenges because of limited provider availability, inconsistent reimbursement, fragmented care pathways, and lingering provider misconceptions. Also, many patients remain unaware of behavioral options or gravitate toward pharmacologic or over-the-counter solutions. At the same time, broader uptake is supported by policy shifts favoring behavioral treatments, integrated care models, expanded provider training, patient education, and the growing reach of digital and community based programs. Together, these system, provider, and patient level dynamics shape how effectively insomnia interventions are implemented and disseminated. Our goal is to accelerate progress toward more accessible, scalable, and sustainable behavioral sleep care across health care systems, workplaces, schools, community settings, and digital environments. This special topic invites high impact manuscripts that illuminate the barriers and facilitators shaping the adoption, uptake, and sustained delivery of evidence-based insomnia and similar behavioral sleep interventions. By bringing together cutting-edge research from diverse disciplines, this collection aims to advance the field’s understanding of the factors that drive or inhibit successful implementation and dissemination.
