Summary

This study tests a program called REPOSE, where a patient navigator helps families overcome barriers to getting specialist care for children with sleep-disordered breathing. The navigator provides support, resources, and coordinates care between doctors and parents. The goal is to see if this approach leads to faster and more equitable specialist evaluations for 80 children from diverse backgrounds.
