Impact of a Short Educational Video on OSA Patient Satisfaction, Knowledge and Outcomes

The purpose of this study is to determine how satisfied patients are when undergoing an
overnight polysomnogram (sleep study), what their knowledge about sleep apnea is, and what
factors affect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment use.

The effects of educational interventions on subject compliance, satisfaction, and knowledge
of their condition will be examined through the use of video vs pamphlet and MD vs staff
contact for follow-up visit reminder.

laboratory for split-night polysomnography by a non-sleep physician and who have a
consultation appointment with a sleep physician following the appointment

- Have not had prior contact with a sleep physician or prior exposure to CPAP therapy.

Exclusion Criteria: Subjects will be excluded for any of the following characteristics:
-Non-English speaking

- Illiterate

- Sleep study is negative for sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index < 5 events/hr)

- Subject does not undergo CPAP titration during the in-laboratory polysomnogram

- Subject does not have a working telephone number
