What is being measured

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

  1. Nightly Adherence

    Average usage hours per night

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Adherence

    Average usage days per week.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Participant's Feedback on Educational Pamphlets - Expectations Scale

    Explore the difference in efficacy of the educational and feedback materials tailored to the specific psychological profiles.

    Participants answered 3 questions about the expected effectiveness of CPAP. These questions were on a scale of 0 to 5, 0 being not effective at all and 5 being extremely effective.

    The average response for each questions was analyzed.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Participant's Feedback on Educational Pamphlets - Importance Scale

    Explore the difference in efficacy of the educational and feedback materials tailored to the specific psychological profiles.

    Participants answered one questions about the importance of CPAP. This was was on a scale of 0 to 5, 0 being not important at all and 5 extremely important.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Participant's Feedback on Educational Pamphlets - Self-Efficacy Scale

    Explore the difference in efficacy of the educational and feedback materials tailored to the specific psychological profiles.

    Participants answered 5 questions regarding self-efficacy of use of CPAP. This was on a scale of 0 to 5, 0 being disagree completely and 5 being completely agree.

    The average of each question was analyzed.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Participant's Feedback on Educational Pamphlets - Motiviation

    Explore the difference in efficacy of the educational and feedback materials tailored to the specific psychological profiles.

    Participants were asked about there motivation to use CPAP with two questions. These questions were on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being not at all, 5 being somewhat, and 10 very much.

    The average of the questions were analyzed.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Participant's Feedback on Educational Pamphlets - Leaflet Assessment

    Explore the difference in efficacy of the educational and feedback materials tailored to the specific psychological profiles.

    Participants that received the leaflet were asked 15 questions regarding it. The questions were on a scale of 0 to 5, 0 being strongly disagree and 5 being strongly agree.

    The average of the scores were calculated and analyzed monthly.

    Measured: 2 months
