Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Obstructive Sleep Apnea
• Interventions: Behavioral: General sleep education; Behavioral: Patient decision aid

• Registration Number: NCT03138993
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that tests a patient decision aid for obstructive sleep apnea in older adults with newly-diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea treated in an outpatient sleep clinic. Half of the participants will use a patient decision aid, while the other half will receive general information about sleep.

Detailed Description

Patient decision aids are one strategy for helping older adults make informed decisions about treatments. Patient decision aids improve patients' knowledge about therapies and encourage them to actively weigh the risks and benefits of each therapy.
