This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a program called REPOSE (Reach for Equity in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Evaluation) that pairs families with a patient navigator—someone trained to help remove barriers to getting your child evaluated and treated for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is when a child stops breathing briefly during sleep, and it affects about 1 in 8 children in the United States. The navigator will help you understand what your child needs, connect you to the right doctors, and support you through the whole process.
Many children with sleep apnea don't get diagnosed or treated, especially Black children, who are much less likely to see a specialist even when they need to. Sleep apnea can cause serious problems for children, including trouble in school, behavioral problems, and developmental delays. This study exists to test whether having a navigator on your side can make it easier for your family to get the care your child deserves.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive support from a patient navigator (REPOSE group) or continue with regular care. The navigator will contact you by phone to understand what's getting in the way of your child's evaluation, connect you with resources, and help coordinate care between your family and the doctors. You'll stay in the study for 12 months, during which time the research team will track whether your child gets evaluated and treated for sleep apnea.
