Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To identify the perceptions, beliefs, and family-relevant outcomes regarding the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with positive airway pressure (PAP) in children with Down's Syndrome (DS).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-center outpatient study to be performed at two clinical sites: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Forty Caregivers of children with DS and OSAS treated with PAP and their children will be enrolled. The study comprises one 30-minute open-ended semi-structured interview per caregiver. The duration of the interview is approximate. It will last up to 30 minutes as some families may want to include more details.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants treated with PAP

This is a qualitative study for participants with Down Syndrome who use PAP to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Group Type OTHER

Open-ended semi-structured interviews

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Semi-structured interviews will explore such key constructs as knowledge/belief about OSAS and PAP therapy, routines and resources that promote or limit PAP use, barriers, self-efficacy, and communication and attitudes about PAP. The interviews will be performed with the parent and that they will be audio-recorded.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.
