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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: patient navigation program (REPOSE)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that a simple support program helps children with sleep apnea get the right specialist care faster and more fairly.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study (80 participants) testing a process, not a treatment. It may not lead to direct health improvements or work in other settings.
