Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Members of an Internet Weight Loss Community

The current study was a pilot, double blind, randomized controlled trial to (1) evaluate the feasibility of an online obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening intervention, (2) estimate effect size for planning of future studies, and (3) test the hypothesis that the intervention, compared to a control condition, would lead more individuals to discuss OSA with their healthcare provider.
