    52.1% of participants expressed willingness to enroll, with cognitive-attitudinal factors identified as significant predictors of this willingness.

    Perceived need for treatment, beliefs in CBT-I effectiveness, and sleep health knowledge positively influenced willingness to participate.

    Paradoxically, higher depression and insomnia severity were associated with lower willingness to enroll in sleep improvement programs.
