A Study to Evaluate Attitudes Toward Weight Loss in Sleep Apnea

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to elicit detailed information from patients diagnosed with a sleep-related breathing disorder with severe obesity and sleep medicine providers regarding attitudes toward and acceptance of a multicomponent weight loss intervention based in health coaching. We anticipate that gaining a deeper understanding of attitudes toward weight loss in this population will provide insight into what may be feasible and acceptable aspects of a weight loss intervention. This information will then help guide the development of a multicomponent weight loss intervention based in health coaching and aimed at decreasing disease burden, increasing PAP adherence, and improving quality of life for patients with moderate-to-severe sleep disordered breathing and severe obesity.
