View clinical trials related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea of Child.
Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a health communication message (infographic about obstructive sleep apnea; OSA) seen by parents whose children have OSA symptoms will be helpful in identifying children with OSA. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will parents who see this health communication message be more likely to talk to their child's health care provider about OSA? - Does the use of a health communication message help health care systems identify more children with OSA? Participants are parents and children who are patients in a specific health care center. As part of clinical care, parents will answer screening questions about OSA symptoms (e.g., snoring, sleepiness) before their child's primary care visit. If their child has OSA symptoms, the health care provider will receive an alert suggesting further evaluation and possible referral for a sleep study or to a specialist. In this study, children with OSA symptoms whose parents answer screening questions will be randomized to one of two conditions: 1) Health communication message (parent sees message before their child's visit with a primary care provider); or 2) Usual care (no information about OSA or their child's risk). Researchers will compare groups to see if the health communication message helps identify more children with OSA.
