Summary

This trial tests a model to help people stick to their sleep apnea treatment plan, to improve their long-term health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American, African, Caribbean or black individuals aged 60-85 with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Participants must be reachable by phone and give consent to release medical data. It's not for those planning to move soon, with terminal illnesses, or cognitive impairments that prevent participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests the PRAISE model's effectiveness in improving adherence to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) treatment for OSA. It compares standard care against a personalized approach to see if it can better manage OSA and impact Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers and cognition.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial primarily focuses on treatment adherence rather than medication side effects, using PAP machines may cause discomfort like nasal congestion, dry mouth, skin irritation from masks or straps, and sometimes claustrophobia.
