Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Pragmatic trial of behavioral interventions for insomnia in hypertensive patients
Insomnia and hypertension are common health problems that often occur together and influence each other, but the management of insomnia with hypertension in primary care settings is less than ideal. This practical, low-cost, clinical trial will evaluate two behavioral treatments for insomnia (a bref intervention with therapist contact and a self-guided Internet intervention) compared to usual care. Participants with insomnia and hypertension will be recruited using the electronic health record in their primary care physicians' offices, and will be evaluated for sleep, blood pressure, and health outcomes after 3, 6, and 12 months.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
