Abstract

Access to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in children and adolescents is limited. Mobile health applications (MHAs) available in app stores may provide an accessible and scalable option for delivering CBT-I. This study systematically evaluated the quality of MHAs targeting insomnia in children and adolescents and examined their evidence base and treatment components.
