Summary

This study tests a culturally tailored program that uses motivational interviewing and text messages to help Native American elders use their sleep apnea machines consistently. About 300 participants aged 50 and older from three Northern Plains Reservations will either receive standard care or the extra support program. The goal is to see if better sleep apnea treatment can also lower the risk of memory loss and dementia.
