Summary
This study tests whether showing parents an infographic about obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms helps more children get diagnosed. About 200 parents of children with OSA symptoms will either see the infographic or receive usual care. Researchers will compare how many children in each group get a referral for sleep testing or a specialist.
