The REPOSE (Reach for Equity in Pediatric Sleep Evaluation) Navigation Intervention
What this study is about
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).
View original scientific description
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.
Interventions
OTHER
Reach for Equity in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Evaluation (REPOSE)
The REPOSE intervention consists of a centralized patient navigator who (1) identifies and addresses dynamic individual barriers, (2) provides support for parent-child dyads, and (3) facilitates bidirectional SDB care coordination between clinical teams and parents to achieve evidence-based care. The goals of the REPOSE intervention are to systematically address barriers to care, develop parental self-efficacy to enhance healthcare utilization (e.g., receipt of recommended care and adherence to evidence-based care), and to improve symptom severity and quality of life.
OTHER
Usual Care
Usual care is defined by standard clinical care delivered without a protocolized intervention (e.g., the ordinary course of care).
Primary outcome measures
Completion of specialist evaluation
Time frame: up to 12months
Binary, evaluation of SDB by completion of specialist consultation (e.g., sleep medicine, otolaryngologist) per AAP guidelines.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Parents or caregivers (18 and older) of children who were referred by any primary care for SDB evaluation with sleep medicine or pediatric otolaryngology
- Patients 2.00 to 11.99 years old
- Parents with a working phone who are willing to participate in the study for a 12-month period after enrollment
Exclusion criteria
- Patients already established with sleep medicine or otolaryngology which would bias ease of completing specialty evaluation
Where
- Charleston, South Carolina

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
