Summary

This study looked at whether extra family support helps children with Down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machine more regularly. 27 children aged 6-18 were split into two groups: one received standard care, the other got a family-informed intervention. The main goal was to see how many nights they used PAP therapy over 6 months.
