About this study

Official title: Tailored Peer-Based Sleep Health Education and Social Support Among Blacks With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The primary purpose of this study is to ascertain the effectiveness of tailored, peer based sleep health education and social support in increasing adherence rates to recommended Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) evaluation and treatment among blacks at risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which disproportionately affects blacks (31% vs. 10%, whites), is a critical, preventable and/or treatable disease potentially causing increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes (e.g., obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, arrhythmia, and chronic heart failure). Improving sleep may have direct effects in reducing CVD risk,2 enhancing brain functions, and increasing workplace productivity. Unfortunately, our focus groups suggest that most at-risk blacks are unaware of OSA symptoms or its related morbidity. Thus, it is imperative to address poor adherence among blacks with OSA, if we are to reduce health disparities associated with CVD outcomes between blacks and whites.

This is a randomized study with a total of 6 sites recruiting; 3 will serve as controls and 3 that will be intervention. Group A participants (Intervention group) will receive health education from a trained Peer Health Educator and Group B participants (Control group) will meet with a salon worker, barbershop worker, or church Health Ministry group leader. Participants will be asked to use a sleep diary and wear a home sleep test device to measure sleep for 7 days. They will be followed for 12 months.

What participants receive

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

  • Peer Based Sleep Health Education and Social SupportBehavioural

    Participants randomly assigned to the intervention arm will receive Obstructive Sleep Apnea education and social support from a trained Peer Educator.

  • Attention Control GroupBehavioural

    Participants assigned to this arm of the study will receive standard sleep literature, providing information about OSA and access to available sleep services.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of Obstructive Sleep Apnea among black men and women at the community level

    Obstructive Sleep Apnea among minorities.

    Measured: 12 Months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of adherence to recommended home OSA evaluation and treatment after intervention exposure (time frame: 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02628977, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
