Brief Summary

This is a randomized controlled Trial to evaluate effect of a culturally and linguistically tailored, telephone-delivered behavioral intervention on adherence to recommended assessment and treatment of sleep apnea in Blacks with Metabolic Syndrome. The investigators believe low awareness of Sleep Apnea and the risk it imposes to an individual health plays an important role in underdiagnosis and low adherence to treatment among Blacks. Hence, culturally and linguistically tailored health education will decrease the knowledge gap and improve adherence to recommended assessment and treatment of sleep Apnea. the investigators believe the effect of adherence to treatment of Sleep apnea is shown to improve the components of Metabolic syndrome and hence promote well control of Hypertension, Diabetes, weight, triglyceride and cholesterol.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change the knowledge of risk factors for sleep apnea and improve adherence to recommended assessment and treatment for sleep apnea.

    The knowledge of risk factors for sleep apnea will be measured by the Apnea knowledge/Apnea beliefs Scale. The adherence to recommended assessment and treatment for sleep apnea will be measured by Continuos Positive Airway Pressure machine.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the components of metabolic syndrome (as measured by Hba1c, triglycerides, and Blood pressure) for those who adhered to the treatment of Sleep Apnea

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Adherence to Sleep Apnea Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention arm of the study receives tailored education regarding Sleep Apnea by the study health educator via telephone.

Behavioral: Adherence to Sleep Apnea Treatment

Standard Care Group

OTHER

The standard care group gets the standard print communications about sleep apnea produced by NLHBI and American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Other: Standard Care Group

Interventions

A health education material prepared after focus group discussion with community leaders and patients would be administered to the participants with an experienced health educator through phone. Upto 10 calls per each patient will be made to either group until 6 months or the patient has a sleep test done.

Also known as: Linguistically and culturally tailored intervention
Adherence to Sleep Apnea Treatment
