About this study

Official title: Promoting Adherence to Sleep Apnea Treatment Through Health Education Among Blacks With Metabolic Syndrome

This is a randomized controlled Trial to evaluate effect of a culturally and linguistically tailored, telephone-delivered behavioral intervention on adherence to recommended assessment and treatment of sleep apnea in Blacks with Metabolic Syndrome. The investigators believe low awareness of Sleep Apnea and the risk it imposes to an individual health plays an important role in underdiagnosis and low adherence to treatment among Blacks. Hence, culturally and linguistically tailored health education will decrease the knowledge gap and improve adherence to recommended assessment and treatment of sleep Apnea. the investigators believe the effect of adherence to treatment of Sleep apnea is shown to improve the components of Metabolic syndrome and hence promote well control of Hypertension, Diabetes, weight, triglyceride and cholesterol.

Read the detailed description

Primary aim: To evaluate effect of a culturally and linguistically tailored, telephone-delivered behavioral intervention, versus an attention-control condition, on adherence to recommended assessment and treatment of sleep apnea.

Secondary aims: 1) To evaluate the maintenance of intervention effects on adherence 6 months post-intervention; and 2) To assess treatment effects on components of the metabolic syndrome (waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid level, and fasting plasma glucose/HbA1C).

Exploratory aim: To identify the mediators of adherence to recommended sleep apnea assessment and treatment following exposure to the intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adherence to Sleep Apnea TreatmentBehavioural

    Also called Linguistically and culturally tailored intervention

    A health education material prepared after focus group discussion with community leaders and patients would be administered to the participants with an experienced health educator through phone. Upto 10 calls per each patient will be made to either group until 6 months or the patient has a sleep test done.

  • Standard Care GroupOther

    The standard care group gets a standard print communications about sleep apnea produced by NLHBI and American Academy of Sleep Medicine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change the knowledge of risk factors for sleep apnea and improve adherence to recommended assessment and treatment for sleep apnea.

    The knowledge of risk factors for sleep apnea will be measured by the Apnea knowledge/Apnea beliefs Scale. The adherence to recommended assessment and treatment for sleep apnea will be measured by Continuos Positive Airway Pressure machine.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in the components of metabolic syndrome (as measured by Hba1c, triglycerides, and Blood pressure) for those who adhered to the treatment of Sleep Apnea

    Components of Metabolic syndrome include Hypertension, Diabetes, weight, triglyceride and cholesterol.

    Measured: 6 months
