About this study

The long-term goal of this research is to improve military health and operational readiness among military service members with sleep disorders. The overall objective of the current study is to 1) determine the clinical effectiveness (non-inferiority) and cost-effectiveness of OSA telehealth care, including a human sleep navigator (vs private sector care), and 2) to perform a formative evaluation of the implementation of the OSA telehealth care intervention within the National Capitol Region (NCR) market. The central hypothesis is that OSA telehealth care including a human sleep navigator is clinically non-inferior to private sector care and also more cost-effective than private sector care. The investigators plan to achieve the objectives via these 3 Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: To determine the clinical effectiveness (non-inferiority) of OSA telehealth care, relative to private sector care. Hypothesis 1a: Relative to private sector care, OSA telehealth care is non-inferior for achieving PAP adherence (primary endpoint). Hypothesis 1b: Relative to private sector care, OSA telehealth care is non-inferior for reducing OSA symptoms and for patient satisfaction (secondary endpoints). Specific Aim 2: To engage participants via qualitative focus groups and conduct a formative evaluation of the implementation of the OSA telehealth care intervention, using a standardized approach based on the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
