First seen Jun 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests a culturally tailored sleep program for Latino couples where one partner has sleep apnea and is starting CPAP therapy. The program includes three telehealth sessions to teach sleep skills and support. Researchers want to see if it improves CPAP use and sleep quality for both partners, and whether it might also help memory and quality of life. About 80 couples are being recruited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

couples-based behavioral sleep intervention (telehealth sessions)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a practical, culturally tailored way to improve CPAP adherence and sleep quality in Latino couples, potentially reducing Alzheimer's risk.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase pilot study with only 80 couples, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits depend on participation and may not be dramatic.
