  abstract     = {{Sleep difficulties are frequently reported in the general population, and insomnia is among the most prevalent of sleep disorders, with substantial consequences for daytime functioning and psychological well-being. Prior studies have linked insomnia to several sociodemographic and clinical factors. However, knowledge is limited in how these factors together relate to symptom severity, treatment patterns, and willingness to receive help for sleep problems in primary care. The aim of this study was to investigate predictors of insomnia severity, previous or ongoing treatment types for sleep problems, and willingness to receive help for sleep problems among adult primary care
patients. The study employed a cross-sectional design and was based on a consecutive sample recruited at health centres in three municipalities in southern Sweden (N = 471). The data were analysed using hierarchical multiple linear regression as well as binary and multinomial logistic regression. Results showed that poorer self-rated general health, younger age, and foreign-born status (i.e., outside Sweden) were associated with greater insomnia symptom severity. Older age was associated with a lower likelihood of having received psychological treatment compared with pharmacological treatment only. Among participants with clinically significant insomnia symptoms, shorter self-reported sleep duration and greater sleep-related functional impairment were associated with increased willingness to receive help. In conclusion, insomnia severity, previous or ongoing treatment types, and willingness to receive help for sleep problems in primary care show substantial variation and are partly consistent with, but also diverge from, previous research.}},
