Neighborhood health coaches tackle sleep apnea machine dropout
NCT ID NCT06047353
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether trained community health workers can motivate people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea to use their breathing machines (PAP) more regularly. About 48 adults who have never used PAP before will receive either motivational coaching or standard care. The goal is to see if this support leads to better machine use, lower blood pressure, and less daytime sleepiness.
