      Non-Hispanic Black women were more likely to discontinue digital CBT-I before receiving an adequate dose (ie, 4 sessions) compared with non-Hispanic White women.

Of note, racial disparities in engagement were specific to digital CBT-I; the authors found no disparities in engagement with their control condition, a sleep education program.
