Motivational Enhancement for Increasing Adherence to CPAP: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Motivational enhancement (ME) shows promise as a means of increasing adherence to CPAP for OSA.

Methods

All participants received standardized CPAP support from a sleep technologist; those randomly assigned to CPAP + ME also received standardized ME delivered by a psychologist during two appointments and six phone calls over 32 weeks. Mixed-effect models with subject-specific intercepts and slopes were fitted to compare objective CPAP adherence between arms, adjusting for follow-up duration, randomizati
