Methods: 148 females (mean age=56.5, SD=5.61) with insomnia concurrent with menopause were randomized to one of three conditions: CBT-I (N=50), SRT (N=49), and Information-only Control (IC, N=49). Quality of life was measured using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36; range=0-100), administered at baseline, immediately post-treatment, and at 6-month follow-up.
