This study, called CATNAP, is looking at how a special program can help Native American Elders with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) use their PAP (Positive Airway Pressure) therapy more consistently. The program uses motivational interviewing (a type of counseling) and electronic messages to help you understand your OSA and use your PAP device. You can join if you are 50 or older, identify as American Indian or Alaskan Native, have been diagnosed with OSA, and use a PAP device. The study will measure how many minutes you use your PAP device each night, how many nights you use it, and how well you stick to your PAP therapy over 9 months. The study status is unclear, and it plans to enroll 140 people.
