Abstract

The proposed enhancement expands the original project's tailored dissemination strategy to include COVID-19-specific knowledge and modify messages to be attentive to the disruption resulting from the pandemic in the lives of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and their clinical providers. Obstructive sleep apnea is highly comorbid with obesity and hypertension, and risk increases with age. As a result, the vast majority of patients with OSA are at high risk for serious complications from coronavirus.
