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.
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
Patients already established with sleep medicine or otolaryngology which would bias ease of completing specialty evaluation
