Summary

This study tested a group-based program to help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea use their Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) machine more consistently. 56 adults who were not using their machine enough were split into two groups: one attended a sleep apnea management class, the other received usual care. The goal was to see if the group class improved machine use and reduced daytime sleepiness.
