Measure
Tailored
Tailored, or individualized, intervention addressing patient education, skills training, and cognitive perceptions Tailored: Individualized on critical indicator (Self-efficacy measure in Sleep Apnea) measured at each intervention delivery period (pre-diagnosis, immediately post-diagnosis, post-CPAP titration, and during week 1 of home CPAP treatment. Intervention components include patient education, preparatory skills training, modification of inaccurate/unrealistic cognitive perceptions of risk, outcome expectations, and treatment self-efficacy
Usual Care
The comparison group, usual care, includes the standard of care delivered to all newly-diagnosed OSA persons proceeding to CPAP treatment Usual care: Usual care comparison group will proceed from initial clinical evaluation for OSA, diagnosis by polysomnography, CPAP titration polysomnography, and home CPAP treatment initiation as per current standard of care

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: Acceptability rating by participants allocated to "interview" at study termination and debriefing; self-reported rating for binary response to satisfaction with study experience (yes/no); reported as percentage responding "yes"; no data available for participants who withdrew or were excluded prior to 3-month visit.

Feasibility assessment to determine participant acceptance of the study intervention and comparative condition (i.e., usual care); semi-structured interviews conducted with 50% of participants randomly assigned to "interview" at study termination and debriefing (3 months)
