The REPOSE (Reach for Equity in Pediatric Sleep Evaluation) Navigation Intervention

Testing a Strategy to Improve Diagnostic and Treatment Pathways for Children With Sleep-Disordered Breathing: the REPOSE Navigation Intervention

About This Trial

This research study aims to find out the effect of REPOSE, a patient navigation intervention, on the receipt of equitable care among children with a broad range of socioeconomic and rural/urban status with Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). In the REPOSE intervention, a centralized patient navigator a) identifies and addresses dynamic individual barriers, b) provides resources and social support for parent-child dyads, and c) facilitates bidirectional SDB care coordination between clinical teams and parents to achieve evidence-based care. This study will evaluate the effects of the REPOSE intervention on SDB care delivery and clinical process outcomes for children with a broad range of socioeconomic and rural/urban status by reducing barriers and increasing self-efficacy among parents.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Parents or caregivers (18 and older) of children who were referred by any primary care for SDB evaluation with sleep medicine or pediatric otolaryngology - Patients 2.00 to 11.99 years old - Parents with a working phone who are willing to participate in the study for a 12-month period after enrollment Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Patients already established with sleep medicine or otolaryngology which would bias ease of completing specialty evaluation Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

OTHER

Reach for Equity in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Evaluation (REPOSE)

The REPOSE intervention consists of a centralized patient navigator who (1) identifies and addresses dynamic individual barriers, (2) provides support for parent-child dyads, and (3) facilitates bidirectional SDB care coordination between clinical teams and parents to achieve evidence-based care. The goals of the REPOSE intervention are to systematically address barriers to care, develop parental self-efficacy to enhance healthcare utilization (e.g., receipt of recommended care and adherence to evidence-based care), and to improve symptom severity and quality of life.

OTHER

Usual Care

Usual care is defined by standard clinical care delivered without a protocolized intervention (e.g., the ordinary course of care).
