Improving Older Adults' Decision Making for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment (Phase 3)

This study evaluates the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial that tests a
patient decision aid for obstructive sleep apnea in older adults with newly-diagnosed
obstructive sleep apnea treated in an outpatient sleep clinic. Half of the participants will
use a patient decision aid, while the other half will receive general information about
sleep.

Patient decision aids are one strategy for helping older adults make informed decisions about
treatments. Patient decision aids improve patients' knowledge about therapies and encourage
them to actively weigh the risks and benefits of each therapy.
