Understanding knowledge and attitudes about obstructive sleep apnea among medical teams

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes of various medical teams towards obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a prevalent but often underreported condition. Participants will include medical students, general practitioners, dentists, medical specialists, and highly trained nurses. The study seeks to identify gaps in knowledge and attitudes that may affect the screening and management of patients at risk for OSA. By focusing on healthcare providers, the study aims to enhance awareness and improve patient care related to this condition.
