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.
Detailed Description: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), defined as nocturnal respiratory disturbances ranging from snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea, affects 12% children in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children be screened for snoring, and that those with symptoms or signs of SDB are further evaluated for medical treatment. Despite this recommendation, the rates for recognizing and screening SDB remain low. Black children are also 4-6 times more likely to have SDB but are less likely to undergo evaluation and to receive timely standard of care treatments to address their SDB. Untreated SDB is associated with significant health consequences including behavioral impairments, poor academic performance, and neurocognitive deficits. While evidence-based treatment is available, it is not accessible to all. Black children are 83% less likely than their White peers to attend consultations for SDB. A critical need exists for a theory-based intervention to reduce barriers to care for children with SDB.

Patient navigation is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to improve screening, referral, and treatment in many health conditions and has high potential to be a culturally acceptable intervention to promote equity in the setting of racial disparities in SDB. Preliminary data informed the development of a novel, multilevel theory-based patient navigation intervention, Reach for Equity in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Evaluation (REPOSE). 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. In this hybrid type I effectiveness implementation study, the candidate will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which N=80 parent-child dyads will be randomized to REPOSE or usual care for SDB. The study team will examine the extent to which the REPOSE intervention improves rates of adherence to evidence-based guidelines among children with a broad range of socioeconomic and rural/urban status with SDB and changes in barrier resolution and self-efficacy among parents. In addition, barriers and facilitators to implementation will be evaluated as guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) with a focus on social determinants of health.

The findings of this randomized pilot trial will inform the design of a future fully powered RCT.
