Study Details

Brief summary:

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.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

other: Reach for Equity in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Evaluation (REPOSE)

REPOSE is a theory-based patient navigation intervention to address multilevel barriers to timely diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing.

other: Usual Care

The ordinary course of care.

Interventions

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.

Usual Care

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

Primary outcome measure

  • Completion of specialist evaluation [ Time Frame: up to 12months ]
