Obstructive Sleep Apnea study: Positive Airway Pressure
Official title Community Health Advocates for Motivating PAP Use in Our Neighborhoods.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06047353
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study compares two ways of encouraging people with untreated moderate‑to‑severe sleep apnea to use their PAP machines. One way uses motivational talks from community health workers who share their culture. The other uses the usual care people normally get.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have moderate‑to‑severe obstructive sleep apnea and have not yet used PAP therapy.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either motivational talks from community health workers or the usual care. They will use their PAP machines at home and may have follow‑up visits or calls to check on their use.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts for several months, with regular visits or phone calls to monitor PAP use and provide support.
