All answered questions regarding problem onset, history, (“Do you think yourself ‘insomniac’?”). Results Of 2,863 included this analysis (Mage=53.5±10.7; 76.6% female; 91.2% White), 45.1% identified Binary logistic regression used examine TST (Myears=12.3±10.0) history (36.6%) associated likelihood identifying Outliers removed assumptions met. model statistically significant X2=(2, N=2,863)=172.4, p< 0.001, suggesting it could distinguish those did not identify correctly classified 60.9% cases. (OR=1.04, 95% CI [1.027, 1.043]) (OR=0.51, [0.435, 0.596]) significantly contributed model. Conclusion Participants 4% more likely each year 49% less if they engaged prior treatment. Findings align recent also found individuals longer without seek Future analyses should consider additional variables including frequency (days per week), severity (e.g., nocturnal wakefulness [TWT]), daytime symptomatology, perceived need, demographic factors age, sex, race.
